Hi Willsy.

Would that be a death record in the newspaper?

John & Catherine married at St Margaret's 19 Nov 1847, Johns father was also John.  Witnesses were Thomas Pratt & Mary Hercock. 

The transcript is full of abbreviations so I'll type exactly what it says: 

g:ofa servant, tailor,  ofa farmer

Which I believe means John Pratt Snr was a servant to a tailor (?) and John Hercock was a farmer

On second thoughts, it means of full age (doh!) John Jr was a servant & his father a tailor.  John Hercock was a farmer.

And an extra Doh!! - I missed that Willsy already gave full details. Apologies
