Hi Angela Thanks for adding your thoughts The witnesses are Joseph Thaw and James looks like Theldrick No clues there l'm afraid they could have been anyone Just having Oldham as an address on hte cert doesn't help much either. Were'nt giving much away were they!! This is the worst piece of family research l've come accross l had better luck with Morris!! l didn't realise Tipping was such a common name Thanks again Pam

That's a good idea of Sophie's, but could work out expensive! I've checked that William on 1851/1861 & he's still calling himself a farmer - no mention of a pub! Do the witnesses on the marriage cert hold any clues? Angela

OOh Angela l never thought of that l should have really knowing how the irish did too Blimey now l am in a tizz l wish l could go back in time and sort this one out l'm going for some lunch now see if it wakens my brain Thanks for your input very much appreciated Kind regards Pam

Pam I know it doesn't help you to decide if this is the right William or not, but in my experience people often used to combine jobs like Publican with other occupations. Angela for what it's worth, I think the image says farmer.

Thanks Shirley l was hoping it would be publican as thats the occupation John his son gives on his marriage cert Thanks again Pam

Pam .isnt hasnt been struck out .its the enumerators tick on it when he was compiling his records. It looks like landsman ,rather than Ag lab of the one above him . The children havent any occupations recorded for them . Shirley

Just have to go and sort the dogs out Back in a tick
