Title: Marriage of Alfred Groom, Islington. Help please.
Post by: mentmore on Tuesday 31 March 15 22:37 BST (UK)

On Ancestry there is an original document for a marriage between Alfred Groom to Elizabeth Jane Jacobs, Islington, 1906. I believe Alfred's father is also Alfred, could someone please tell me Alfred Senior and Juniors occupation.
Many thanks.

Hi keyboards86

Alfred Groom, I think in 1911 census, occupation a police constable, at Rotherhithe, London. He was born in Ivinghoe Buckinghamshire 1883.

Carol, if the 1916 marriage is correct what makes you believe his father is also an Alfred?

Hi keyboard86
I did say fathers name was Alfred also, didn't I? Oh dear, sorry my mistake, defiantly fathers name George Jeffery and mother Jane.
Thanks also for marriage details.
Much appreciated, and thanks.
