Title: can anyone read this?
Post by: molar on Monday 11 October 04 15:49 BST (UK)
Can anyone read the forename  and occupation of Margaret's father?
Also does anyone know why the place of residence is left blank?
Thanks
Linda

Linda,

Might it be Ralph and Smelter?

Ralph Waggott for sure and I agree that it the trade is smelter. Ministers were often a bit lax about how they entered things but we see that Banns had been read and so her address would be on those Banns. Perhaps he intended to add it afterwards and forgot.

The IGI shows a christening of a Margaret Waggott at Allendale, Northumberland, on 3 Feb., 1822, her birth recorded as 25 June, 1820.  Parents are Ralph Waggott and Ann.

Cheers

Definitely 'Ralph' and 'Smelter' in my opinion - for what it's worth!

Just for the record, this Wm Allison (my great/great grandad) is also known as Wm Oliver Allison - see marriage cert of his only son Thomas at Warden

Just in case.

I think the line for her address has a very small " in the middle of it meaning that she too was living at the same place as her new hubby.
