Only thing is I'm a bit confused now. On the certificate I have the groom's father maked as John Varo (deceased) and the bride's father as Alfred Perkins but with occupation as 'no occupation'. I can't find him on the 1891 census and the marriage was in 1894, nor can I find the bride, Louisa Emma Perkins on the 1891 census either! Any ideas?
