A total mystery- help please

The witnesses are William Parry my g grandfather and his sister Fanny. The thing is that my grandfather b1885 was give the middle name of Neijber. Why? Apart from the obvious that they knew each other, it seems a strange name to give your son. I think there may be a connection, in that they were related somehow.

1891 census taken 5th April, the marriage was the 10th of April. They were down in London first then seemingly straight to Liverpool.

Looking at original scan 1891 census for the London couple, the occupation seems to read as Rentier (as transcribed)  - French for "of independent means" or a gentleman.

Have you located William Parry and sister on 1891 census? Did they live in Liverpool or can you place them near the London couple?

[rocky3]

That seems to say that he is the correct one.

 I have William and Fanny on the 91, in Liverpool
1911 Fanny ended up in Kent.

What else do you know about William Parry and his wife - did she come from France for example?
What was her maiden name?

Of course!!
Trying to find them on any other census, births and deaths, not having much luck!

William's wife was from Liverpool, as did her parents.
