Following on from my post a couple of days ago regarding an ancestor's occupation (thanks for everyone's help with that!) I've got the wedding certificate for the same ancestors- William Hodder and Sarah Curtiss. It's really hard to make out much at all, they were married in Reigate in 1842; I can't quite read the details of their parents, ages or witnesses... Would love some help!
thanks again :)
-
they are both of 'Full Age'
both fathers are named Samuel and are Labourers
my interpretation for witnesses - Charles BARFIELD and Sarah BOWELL X her mark.
and incase you wanted it - they are living at Red Hill, Reigate.
-
William's father is James & Sarah's father is Samuel
-
William's father is James & Sarah's father is Samuel
Yes, I fear you are right . Just as well someone else looking!

I agree with Lady Di :)

Although it is written as Red Hill, Reigate, presumably it is Redhill. I wouldn't go looking for a road called Red Hill.

Both William Hodder and Sarah Curtiss sign their names.
The witnesses are Charles Barfield, who signs his name, and Sarah Bowell who 'makes her mark'.
