Hi, can anybody help with this one? I'm trying to confirm date and place of birth for Henry Hall, born approx 1828 in Duddeston, Shropshire. I think his mother's name may have been Harriet but I can't decipher his father's name on Henry's marriage certificate! It looks like RAWLAK? As a matter of interest, on the said marriage certificate, Henry and Ann Price's (his wife!!) age is given as what looks like FNK? Does that mean ......... not known? Thanks to anyone who has time to help!
Kind regards, Kim

FNK - Full (age) not known - ie, they were over 21 but actual age not known?

Thanks for your help Potty, I really appreciate it. As you say, looks like Henry's pa was called Randle! Another name to my tree!
Thanks, Kim
