Hi all
Im hoping somebody can help solve a problem with a marriage certificate ( See my previous post 01-04-2007 )
Does anybody from the variuos families above have any links/connections or ideas or history on the reasons why on a marriage certificate the groom and brides fathers would have different surnames from their son/daughter or is it likely
1. both born out of wedlock
2. fathers took their mothers maiden names as well ie George Combe-Fisher
3. both fathers had died so somebody else gave them away but appeared on the certificate.
IF it is 1. above then i would therefore have to follow my blood line through Combe and not Fisher, so any help and advise would be much appreciated
Regards
John Fisher
