Title: Corscombe 1914 Marriage of JOHN HENRY LEGG
Post by: NormanE on Saturday 14 April 18 14:03 BST (UK)

Has anyone had or can have sight of the marriage certificate of JOHN HENRY LEGG's marriage to GLADYS MARY JONES at Corscombe Dorset on the 2 April 1914?  I want to resolve one of two candidates and the name of JOHN LEGG's father would do this for me.
Am grateful for any help.

This might be him:

1901 census in Corscombe;  John Henry Legg (16) with parents Samuel (cattle dealer) and Mercy.  Siblings are Ada and Elsie.

All give Corscombe as their birthplace.

Samuel Legg and Mercy Wellman married in 1881 at Corscombe.
