COMPLETED: Can you read the bride's father's name?
« on: Monday 19 July 10 14:09 BST (UK) »
This is part of the marriage register entry for the marriage of Robert George and Jemima Aplin. I know Jemima was illegitimate and her mother was Phoebe Aplin but I have never been able to find any clue as to her father.

I got a copy of the certificate from the register office and they transcribed it as "Lyuri Prow" so I printed this copy from the microfilm but I still don't know what it says.

I've been pondering over this for 10 years or more, and eventually decided it might just say "is unknown". It looks like the pen had a fresh charge of ink before this part was written and it's not the neatest of hands.

Can anybody see anything else in it please?

Am I correct in assuming the profession/occupation box for the bride's father is blank? If so, that would seem to fit with the "unknown" interpretation, whereas if an occupation was given, then it might just be a person's name.

I think it say John George, not sure the last name  and under occupation or profession it looks like it say Labourer

Oh nevermind I see the bride's father would be the second line which yes it looks like is unknown to me to

Many thanks for your help everybody, I'm going to go with "is unknown" and forget it!
