hi there
i am hoping you lovely people who have helped me before will be able to to transcribe the addresses on this marriage certificate for me please.
I am trying to trace the grooms family as i have no idea where he was originally born or what his mothers name was. I think my best bet is to find the addresses in 1901 and 1911 and see if there were anyone with a familiar name living there.
I can see the groom was a seaman and his father was a stoker. (not sure on brides occupation or her fathers)
has anyone else have any better ideas to start tracing his family and anything else they can transcribe for me?
Thanking you in advance.

Agree Walpole, Anglesea, Newsagent.
'Gun inspector' wouldn't be unusual if he worked at the Arsenal - not the football club, the big firearms establishment in Woolwich.
