Marriage cert abbreviation "FWR"
« on: Wednesday 28 December 22 11:14 GMT (UK) »
I have just received a marriage certificate for a marriage at St Mary's Nottingham which I couldn't find online. The rank or profession of father is given as F.W.R. (or just possibly F.W.N) for the father of the groom and F.W.K on the rank or profession of the bride's father. Maybe I am in a post-Christmas fog,but I cannot for the life of me make out what this is supposed to be. I've never come across it before. Rest of the certificate is as expected.

Yes, I agree as well - FWK = Framework Knitter
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Thank you so much! I was on a different track altogether -military, railway... should have remembered to think local. I'm very grateful.
