	Patricia Yes usualy it does give the bride and grooms fathers names and occupation, On my nans wedding certificate it had her fathers name and ocupation but I knew he had died a few years before but it didnt say deseased, so I think a lot of certificates are slightly different. Hope this helps Debbie
