Title: Edmunds Marriage in Stapleton 1869
Post by: Ruth17 on Thursday 16 July 15 16:31 BST (UK)

I am hoping that someone may be kind enough to lookup details of this marriage.

Emma Edmunds married William Ward at Holy Trinity Stapleton on 4th April 1869.

I would like to know the occupation of Emma's father Charles Edmunds to confirm that the record is one I am looking for.

Hope someone can help.

Ruth

thanks Capetown - presumably no father's occupation listed?
I was hoping to find Charles' occupation - hoping that it would say that he was a Venetian Blind maker.
I guess I need to see the the original record to get that extra info.
Thanks again
Ruth

Thanks Capetown - yes, I have seen the will - it was the starting point in researching the Edmunds line. Having got as far back as I can on many of my family lines, I have been looking at other relatives - trying to bring the lines forward.
