I agree Queen St. (I remember writing Qs like that at school).

OK Queen Street it is then. I was born and grew up in Bristol, and I know Queen Street well. It was my only guess too, but it just looked too incorrect to be right.

? Interesting. Do you still write your Q's the same way?

Very elaborate first 's' in the bride's father's former occupation.

Thank for your comment Andy. It made me realise I hadn't read and recorded all the information on that Registration.
Best regards,
Andy.

No. It was only in primary school (in Scotland) and I recall it changed at some point and we had to switch to the more familiar version.
