From information gleaned at 2012 Who do you think you are, it appears there was a fire in the 1950's at Norwich records office(?) and many papers/records destroyed.

I will therefore complete this post.

Thanks for help given.

Thank you Osprey for your reply and very useful links.

The marriage was attended by a registrar so hopefully a copy exists. I will contact the registry office.

Regards Croxia

Thank you Stan for your replies. I had asked the question because I have details of a marriage that took place in a register office by certificate and the bride stated her age as 23, she was in fact 20.
She was also not truthful about her late father's occupation either. However as checks were, presumably not carried out, the registrar filled in the details as given. Probably wouldn't get away with theses days though!

Thank you all for your replies they are most helpful. If Emma came from a boatbuilding family that certainly fits, I will investigate further. Nicholas married Mary Paddy Trevarthen; they were both from Cornwall and Jenking, Paddy and Trevarthen were Cornish boatbuilders. After Nicholas died Mary and the two surviving sons moved back to Cornwall. Nicholas and Mary are my 3xgreat grandparents. As you can see I have attached another piece of the cert. which I feel confirms that Emma's surname does look like it begins with an N.
Once again thank you all for your help and information, it is much appreciated.

Thank you Mike and Josey....the third word is "fourteenth", which is the date of the death registration. Yes there is another N on the cert. for Nicholas. I will try and post that section, bear with me as I am not very good at this copying and pasting business! Will do it later when under supervision of my son.
