Really confused now as got the marriage cert for my grandparents and the facts do not match what I have got.
I believed that my grandfathers father was Thomas Emmett but it says George Emmett? and that he was born in 1873 but in 1896 it says he is 21 and then I get lost with my grandmother who I am told was born 1875 died 1908 was also 21 in 1896? her father Henry Hood, no idea to the Hoods as never knew that???
HELP ANYONE AS SO VERY CONFUSED..

Sx :-D
