Thanks once again.
I don't have access to the 1848 marriage certificate, but the 1851 census shows John Legg as shoemaker - he's subsequently listed as bootmaker and cord wainer, so seems to be pretty consistent.
Strangely, he doesn't show in the 1841 Channel Island census.

The 1848 marriage has his occupation as a Gardener - his father is also John Legg with the same occupation.

Could I ask where you accessed the marriage certificate, please?
Sorry to appear inept...

John Levi Legg was my Great Great Great Great Grandfather. He was born in 1870 and I can find very little about him, if he had any sibblings and indeed who his parents are.  I know his family tree and descendants from 1800 down as far as the Legg/Legge family is concerned and happy to share. His son Henry added an 'e' to his surname sometime between 1870-1872.

If anyone had further information they can share or indeed can help, I would appreciate it. I'm also trying to find images etc.

Best,
Alex
