Abbreviation on Marriage License

[ryan]

Hi all,

I’ve attached a copy of an original marriage license which has been reproduced with permission. Note the abbreviation WWS on the document; I don’t know what this means, nor did the Assistant at the Record Office. Google hasn’t yielded anything, either. Some context behind the couple, My Great-Great Grandparents; the bride was born illegitimately (don’t know if that’s relevant here), and the groom’s occupation on their marriage certificate was “Man of Wars Man” (Naval Seaman) and he was from outside the parish. Any ideas what WWS means?

Thanks

P.s. not sure why it attached twice?! The bigger version is much clearer.

Have a look at the name of the witness/surrogate at the end of the document.  He has made changes and initialed them.
