witness signature and brides last name
« on: Friday 21 September 18 16:30 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone
Please can I have your thoughts on the first name of the Chapman witness. I am trying to see if he is related to the groom.
Also what do you think the brides surname is? findmypast has the surname as Kight ancestry has it as Knight.
The marriage is available to view on findmypast  groom Thomas Chapman 1819 and took place in the parish of Staple.

Thanks for your help with this.
regards
