The marriage certificate contains the following information:

George William Davies, Bachelor, full age, schoolmaster, resident Brighton, father George Davies, gentleman.

Jessie Johnson, spinster, full age, resident Stratfieldsaye, father John Johnson, head gardener.

Married by license in the parish church by J G Joyce.

Signed.  Witnesses John Johnson, Ellen Johnson, Matilda Tyler, George Parker.

Of the witnesses, John is presumably the father; George (1829-) is a brother in law. The only Ellen Johnson I know of in this large family was born in 1854 (hence 11 years old)  so the Ellen must be someone else, cannot say who. I cannot trace Matilda Tyler.

The cert. has not moved me forward much.
