There is only one birth which totally fits amazingly:

Births Mar 1881 (>99%)
BENNETT Emily Stafford 6b 11

Might be worth risking??

Do you know when Emily was born? And who are the witnesses please?

Silly me, read it as birth cert, doh.
When was the marriage? If not recent post all details on here (use box below and click on 'submit', don't send a message). If a while back it might be possible to find the person on a census.

See if you can trace the marriage on 'familysearch.org' to check the details.

Could be either I suppose! Was the mother's surname the same as the child's?

hi. I ordered a marriage certificate for an ancestor and it has no father but it has got an occupation as a labourer. Have they made a mistake or was the father not known? If any one knows it would help. Thanks
