Some Marriage Certificate queries
I have just been looking at this certificate again and have a few queries
Is the groom's occupation "Temporary Civil Servant"?...seems a bit odd. Why would the bride's father's details have been ommitted? Next to the witness Henry Oliphant's name is written "A K Platt" - I had thought this meant "otherwise known as Platt" - or is it that there was a 3rd witness called AK Platt? Thank you Joan Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 06-02-10 at 21:06. |

I think AK Platt is a third witness. Presumably the bride knew nothing about her father.
As to the groom's occupation, I expect during 1917 lots of people ended up doing war work in odd places. Conscription started in 1916 I think so he has side stepped that for some reason. |

Thanks Jill
I am trying find out who Hester Appleton was and getting stuck!! LOL - If only her father's name had been on the cert!! Your explanation for the groom's occupation makes perfect sense - Thank you |

There's an Alice K Platt born c1877 living in Kensington listed on the 1911 census (I don't have a sub to that), don't know if that rings any bells as the 3rd witness

Thanks again Jill - I hadn't seen that
Nothing rings any bells, because I'm not entirely sure what I am looking for! What prompted me to send for the certificate was to see whether Clarence Edmund Platt could possibly be the same person as the Clarence T Platt on this cert ( who may well never have existed) - I know it's a long shot!!! and looks utterly unlikely - and the Clarence's father's are different - but, at least so far as the second Clarence (assuming he is a different Clarence) is concerned, I think there was an element of deception/fraud in relation to his marriage/s -sorry it's so complicated No idea if this makes sense - even to me!!

Can only find Alice K Platt born 1871 in Kensington. A single woman and her sister Emmie living with her.

Can't remember but have we found any of them in 1911?
