Could the surname of the witness be Shelford?

Rose

Researching:
I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!

Sorry for delay Julie

Witness S.G. Thelford can't find anything anywhere for that person.

The other said Henry Charman + his mark assume he could not write? Henry would be the father in law to Arthur

Thanks

Yes Julie Edward Watson by 1922 date of marriage cert was deceased occupation Ship Steward but that has proved fruitless also

The marriage was in Stratford London and West Ham is also East London

I wouldn't guess...A lot of my Dads side was born all over the place but ended up in London for work & got married there.

Did you get Edwards names from Arthur's M/C if yes it will have Edwards occupation on there too

Experienced GR members could you advise please.

Arthur Watson born 1900 - not sure of area.

Fathers name Edward Watson no other details

Arthur married 1922 in Stratford London.

First son named Edward Ernest
Second son named Arthur

Have found birth West Ham 1900 for Edward Arthur - assuming, which I know is dangerous, the first part of the name Edward was dropped and Arthur was used right through his life how can I can confirm infact I have the correct family.

Hope this makes sense
