query on a Marriage certificate
« on: Monday 30 November 20 16:44 GMT (UK) »
My 3x GGrandfather Thomas George Procter marries in 1852, I have marriage cert which states that his father(William Procter)is a Master Mariner.
Yet on the 1851 census his Williams wife is down as a widow and yes I am certain I have the right person.
So have they forgotten to add 'deceased' to the marriage certificate? Flippin nuisance if they have  >:(

The couple would not have been asked whether their father was dead or alive, there is no actual place on a certificate asking for that information though it is often added.

I have a 3x great grandfather who put down his father and occupation. If fact his father had died 20 years earlier. He had lost contact with his family when he moved to Wales and being unable to write he knew no different so put down the only information he had.
