William's occupation would help........do you have Mark's marriage cert?

As a first step, you could try looking on the IGI for a possible marriage for the parents named on the baptism record.........

Who were the witnesses to Mark's marriage?

Janet

Janet Report 7 Jan 2011 15:01

The witnesses were Bessy Jackson and William Crawforth
Thanks for your input
