1871 census problem

[kiterunner]

My opinion:
Witness 1 first name - Jos M (first thought his surname was Mc something but if it is Buck, then the M is his middle initial!)
Witness 2 surname - Scott.

Jas M or Jas Mc for the first one.

Thanks Kate and Shona.

I don't know who George Scott is, so ignoring him.

Who thinks the other one could possibly be Joseph Wellington Buck? (Jos W?)

(not someone I'd thought of until now, but brother of the groom)

[kiterunner]

Could be.

Thanks Kate.

Henry Buck's address was given as Crown Street when he married and in the 1851 census at 34 Crown Street, Liverpool is a James Buck, Head, 41, Baptist minister, b. Weymouth with his family plus Richard H Buck, father, widower, 76, b. Weymouth and a Joseph W Buck, U, 36, brother, Merchantile Clerk, b. Weymouth.

In answer to your question, I usually reply that is for me to know and you to find out, but as it's you, Merry, the short answer is Yes!! lol.

Glad this thread has been so productive for you.
