Marriage cert arrived today:
I Jan 1931 after banns
Thomas Connolly, 22, Bachelor, Labourer, 4 Station Cottages, Heswall
Father Thomas Connolly, Market Gardener
Edith Mary Sharratt, 28, Spinster, 1 Walker Street, Hoylake
Father John Sharratt, Labourer
Witnesses John Sharratt, Ellen Price
W.F. Warburton, Vicar
So it looks like I've spent many hours researching the wrong family!
I think what threw me was the ages. I just assumed her husband would be of the same age or older.
Message to self: Don't assume anything!
