Have posted a reply on Karen's other thread, telling her how to post to this one.

Karen,

I think it might be worth getting the birth cert for the W Derby birth that Sablon found. If you use her father's name as a checking point and it is wrong, they will not send the cert and will refund part of the cost.

There is this Mary Boyd of the right age in the 1861. Her mother is a widow and there are several deaths of William Boyds in the Liverpool area for the right time.

hi would they put fathers name and occupation on the marriage cert even if he is deceased

Potty

Potty Report 8 Mar 2009 16:34

Yes, his occupation could be on the cert if he was dead and it might not say he was deceased - it would depend how the question was asked.

What is John's occupation on the marriage cert? Is this the family in 1891:

John's occupations looks like cutlery:
