Need help deciphering the handwriting please!
« on: Friday 22 May 20 16:45 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I got this marriage certificate from the GRO today but the handwriting is both tiny and faded, so I am unable to work out what it says! If someone would be able to translate the whole thing it would be greatly appreciated.  ;)

The only bit I can work out is the names Walter Sidney Tims and Emily Newell at the start of the certificate.

Thanks in advance! :)

Ah thats great thanks a lot!

one more thing, can you work out what the ages are on the marriage certificate I sent?

everything else you've said makes sense with what i've already got but I cant work out what the ages of Walter Sidney and Emily are ?? :(

Thanks!

Column 3 for age says “full” for both.
