John Graham married Fanny Nabb July 17 1899 in Bury

Hi guys
Hope I can get some help on this one
I have been able to find out a bit about Fanny Nabbs ancestry but trying to track down a clue from the marriage of the two named in the subject..
John Graham was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland abt 1866 and wondering if the marriage record in 1899 may reveal the names of johns parents which may open the door up on Johns history ?

Greatly appreciate anyone's time and help

Thanks

The marriage was "Registry Office or Registrar attended", so possibly Non-Conformist or R.C. It's not on Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website.

English marriage certificates only show the name and occupation of the father. The witnesses might be related to the bride or groom but are not identified as such.

Copies of certificates can be ordered from GRO and cost £9.25, postage included.

Is this the couple in 1901? If so I believe that there was often a naming pattern used in Scotland which may help. Someone else may know how it worked.

Sorry it is John you are looking for.  I need spec savers

Do you have John's date of death because if in Scotland his death cert will give his parent's names.

Percy seemed to have been a popular name late 19th/ early 20th century, so may not have been a family name. As Fanny was English they may not have followed a traditional naming pattern.

First daughter after maternal grandmother.
Second daughter after paternal grandmother.
Third daughter after mother.
First son after paternal grandfather.
Second son after maternal grandfather.
Third son after father.
Subsequent children after great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, minister, doctor, landowner, schoolmaster, employer or their wives. I have seen assertions that there is a predictable order but have never actually found an example of it.
