Hi, im wondering if anyone can lookup a record for me and see the Fathers name of the bride.

The marriage is between a Thomas Cooke and Sarah Jane Henfrey
1887 in Loughborough

I have been trying to find the father of Sarah Jane Henfrey but having some issues with the last name and not sure if her fathers name was Henfrey or something else and if i could confirm what it was on the marriage record if it on there as i did find the record on family search but i cant see the actual image. If anyone is able to see the Image on Ancestry.

The image shows Sarah Jane's surname to be crossed out (Hemsley?) and Henfrey written in above. Father's name/occpn. is blank

Ahh that is a shame i did wonder if it might have been blank but worth asking incase. Yes im finding that the surname Henfrey has been written differently on other documents which proves difficult in the research.

Sarah's PoB in '91 is Whissendine - YoB 1864 which fits marriage cert.
Intriguingly there is a Sarah J Henfrey in 1881 in Oakham, born Whissendine, but YoB is 1872.

I've also spotted a Sarah Jane Henfrey in Oakham mentioned in a newspaper article but dated 1888 - 1 yr after the marriage to Thomas.

Possibly illegitimate?

There's this baptism - spelling as per Ancestry indexing, but the image looks very like Henfrey

Baptism    2 Aug 1862 Whissendine
