Hi,
Wasn't sure where to post this!

Can anyone try and make out a surname on a parish record if I email it to you?
My guess is its Eastham or Castham but struggling and cant find many similar names to them in the rest of the records :-(

Hope to hear from you!

Just had the magnifying glass out and it looks like Casburn to me!

Hi thanks for looking, yes 100% the groom is Rymer.
Mary Ann passes away and he remarries.

The censuses for him are almost all transcribed wrong... he is Palmer Goose on one of them!
I only managed to find this marriage after finding the first one I was looking for... and it stated he was a widow!

Looks like CASBURN to me too....especially where she signs her name.

Excellent many thanks... I've also just found a readable CASEBURN so looks like the correct name :-)
Thanks all for assisting!
Was beginning to run around like a headless GOOSE. Oh darn its chicken...I'll get my coat!

No one else had his first marriage, its only because I looked at his marriage record and noticed he was a widower I needed to look for this marriage :-)
Thanks again.
