decipher of given names

Can any one help me to decipher the Brides Fathers given name, also a Witness to which I think they could be the same person

Thanks in advance
Maureen

Not very clear is it on either, I've stared at it too long at the late end of the day here

Thought I might throw Hart or Kent in as my view  :-\

( and I can't even make out  the surname! ... is the groom's surname Rice? as I was tossing up something beginning with H, K or R)

Hi Mourne,

I think it says Thos Carr

I don't ever remember seeing abbreviations on certificates.

The first letter looks like capital H & the last like t. I will look on the censuses for a Carr [got the surnames from your .jpg title] ; at least he was a bootmaker & not a labourer!!

I would say that the bride's father and the witness name do seem to be the same. Is the bride Ann Carr?

Carr is very clear  :D especially now that I know! and I must say that Thomas goes much nicer with it than the options I thought of!!

What awful writing!  I can't make out Thos.
I'm leaning more towards Karl Carr or if he's Welsh "Huel" Carr
