Bride's Father's Occupation and Name of Witnesses
« on: Sunday 15 December 19 10:34 GMT (UK) »
I have a marriage document from 1859 in Belfast. I can't make out the occupation of the bride's father, Robert Brown. It almost looks like something keeper - his brother is a grocer but it doesn't look like shop keeper. I have another potential daughter of Robert Brown getting married and calling him a pilot (of a ship I assume) but I'm not sure it's the same family.

Also, I can't make out the witness names. Someone Brown and Isaac (?) Someone? The bride and groom are James Moore and Victoria Brown.
