Hi,
Can you name the road in Barking on the grooms address, and also the occupation of the 17 year old bride.
Many thanks.

The address looks like Wakering Road, and her occupation looks like something (maybe trucker) cattle food.

A higher res scan of just the middle of the certificate may be needed.

I'd go for Wakening Road and her occupation looks like Trucker ?portable food (eg like on of those roadside trucker canteens that you see parked in laybys)

Amended: there is a Wakering Road in Barking still, according to Googlemaps
Perrins - Manchester and Staffs
Honan - Manchester and Ireland
Hogg - Manchester 19 cent
Anderson - Newcastle mid 19 cent
Boullen - London then Carlisle then Manchester
Comer - Manchester and Galway
