Default Can you read this?

Blurry image

This image is extremely blurry. It is a marriage on FMP for Elizabeth Hawkins.
She is the first marriage on the page.

What I am wondering is what the father's occupation is and who are the witnesses?

Father is William Hawkins, spouse Arthur Henry Simpson.

I've reported the image but have no idea if/when it will be fixed.

Father's occupation could possibly be shoemaker.

FreeREG has a full transcription!
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_re...620d&ucf=false

(If the link doesn't work, just go to FreeREG and search for the marriage, then click to see the details.)

It is shoemaker: they filmed it twice.

Thank you both. I always forget freereg. I also looked for a second image but didn't see it.

After all your effort I don't think Elizabeth is mine. My William was a potter, although I guess they could have made a mistake on that but Selina is not a name I know, unless she is an extended family member I don't know about yet.
