I rang Sheffield reg office a few months ago for a marriage cert for my g-grandad Charles Shepherd and his wife to be Violetta Hukin and the guy on the other end said, "That's a name 'n' half innit". It wasn't until after that i realised he'd thought i'd said her name began with an F......! Tracey, Bolton |
