Hi Brenda,
Very sorry to hear about your illness, I wish you the best of health.
The Peterborough, I have been talking about, is in Northamptonshire, not Scotland.  It is quite sad that Mary Louise Dunnett, lost both her parents by the age of 16.
Do you have the name of the second witness on her marriage cert? As I said, this might prove to be a useful clue, as it would be nice to confirm that we have found the correct Mary/Maria.
Regards, Kath

Hi Brenda,
I am a little confused   Earlier in the thread you said that John Dunnett was a witness.  Now I understand that Arthur James Wonfer is the second witness; but where does this Henry James Taylor fit in?
I have to say I am really intrigued by your dad's name, it is so unusual
The quickest way to see your replies, is to use the link in your e mail notification
Until I hear back from you, I will see what I can find on Arthur James Wonfer (+variations)!
Regards, Kath

i know it seems welsh,i wonder if there is a welsh connection,he had a brother called cyril joffrey   and another colin who was a male nurse in killingbeck hospital in leeds but died young i dont think he was mrried,i never saw him if i did i cant remember,so he must have died in the 40,s

Hi Brenda,
You can attach a marriage cert on here, when you are posting a message, underneath the message box, there is an option you can click on, which reads "Attach a photograph or image (and other options).."   I have been on Ancestry and seen a copy of the marriage cert on there, I read the surname as Wonfor, I did find a 7 year old Arthur James Wonfor on the 1891 census living in Leicester, which looked interesting, but cannot find him on the 1901 yet. 
I am going to concentrate on George Henry Taylor and the witness Henry John Taylor (too many Henry's).  I take it you have not found them on a census yet!
I won't be able to do anything until later tonight though.
Kath
