[My cousin has my mothers side well sussed its my dads side where all the blanks are.

Thanks   John

Just thought the cousin might be interested in the findings?  Or is your Dad's side of no interest to him?  Perhaps your mum is his aunt, and her husband is not a big priority in his tree.

Yes that is the case Silvery.I will still pass the information onto him though.Thanks

I cannot believe within a few short weeks of  not knowing who my grandfather was I know who my great -grandfather was  :) As you say its nice to see that Burnett theme as well. Thanks so much to everyone who has spent time doing these searches for my benefit. I owe you all big style.Need any help with photographical stuff,just say the word.Quite adept in Photoshop so if you have a picture you would like enhancing eg removing unwanted background objects,removing spots from faces etc I am your man. By the way mods its all free gratis and there is no commercial catch here.

Kind regards

Does the marriage certificate just have his name as William?   No second name?



No second name on the certificate.All it says that he was married on 23 October 1887,aged 23 and at the time lived at 18 Edward Street.The wedding took place at Christ Church,Gateshead and he married Catherine Haveron,aged 18 and she lived at St Nicholas,Newcastle

Hi everyone,just got back from a holiday to find my grandads wedding certificate has arrived.I cannot make out some of the writing,are there any experts out there???

Here is a photo of the full certificate,I had a bit play in Photoshop to enhance it as much as possible

Moderator comment: image removed.  Only small portions of GRO certificates may be posted.

In this section I cannot make out the fathers professions



Cannot make out the profession in this one



In this one cannot make out the bottom witness



I really have you all to thank for getting this far.Open to suggestions as to my next step.I just had to smile when I seen that my great grandfathers name was "George Stephenson"   ::)
