No I dont have their marriage certificate yet, but I might have to consider it. I believe they settled in Tutshill (maybe spelt wrong ?) so they were in the district of Chepstow but still in Glos (I think). I dont know what his occuptaion was but the family rumour is that she was well-to-do and him not so I assume a labourer of some sorts. My Grandad was their eldest child and it was only found out after he died that he was a year older than he had led everyone to believe throughout his life (told everyone he was born in 1916 when it was 1915) so I assume it was a rushed/hushed wedding and thats why I'm struggling to find details of the marriage or Jack's birth. I dont have any details on Albert apart from the marriage date.
