Blurry image (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbprs%2fstaff%2f007567132%2f01963&parentid=gbprs%2fstaff%2fmar%2f251121%2f2)

This image is extremely blurry. It is a marriage on FMP for Elizabeth Hawkins.
She is the first marriage on the page.

What I am wondering is what the father's occupation is and who are the witnesses?

Father is William Hawkins, spouse Arthur Henry Simpson.

I've reported the image but have no idea if/when it will be fixed.

Father's occupation could possibly be shoemaker.

It is shoemaker: they filmed it twice.

Thank you both. I always forget freereg. I also looked for a second image but didn't see it.

After all your effort I don't think Elizabeth is mine. My William was a potter, although I guess they could have made a mistake on that but Selina is not a name I know, unless she is an extended family member I don't know about yet.
