What does S.F.A. S.F.M. mean?
« on: Thursday 31 December 09 17:27 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find out what the letters S.F.A S.F.M mean. David Taylor who was a woolen draper had these letters attached to his name in the announcement of his marriage in 1849. Any ideas anyone?

It might help to say where the chap was living in 1849, those abbreviations may be a local 'thing'?
