Today I got a copy of the most unhelpful marriage certificate I've
ever seen...

The Groom was "of full age" , the Bride was "a minor", and the
residences of both Bride and Groom were simply "This parish". Even the
bride's father's occupation was simply a "Smith".

What a swizz!

This dates from 1855.

Give me such a wonderfull deed full of details. There are references as to age and occupation. I had to find my ancestors parents based on an adress given every other baptism of his children (only four of them so even that part was limited) and still have no occupation for him. Still very feeble and not beyond wooden (see earlier in this group), but after seven years the best I could come up with.
