Deciphering required please
It's on Ancestry ~
London, England, Marriages and Banns 1754 - 1921 Elizabeth Brand Looker (b 1877) Francis George Jennings Married 1899 at All Saints, Fulham Fathers' names ~ John Jennings (Draper) and Robert Brand Looker. Think Robert's occupation begins with 'F' but I'm stuck with the rest of it Also does it say deceased ? and I can't read the name of the street ~ 16 ???? Rd Fulham ;( |
Looks like 16 Minster Road Fulham, father Robert Brand Looker dec'd occupation either Farrier or Farmer?
Have you looked at previous census to see what his occupation was? :) |
His occupation is Farmer, and yes, it says decd. I think the address is 16 Munster Rd., Fulham (I've checked in the A-Z and it does exist!)
|
Compare the m in farmer with the other m's on the page and you will see it is an m.
|
It looks like Robert is a farmer and that both fathers were deceased. And could the address be Lunster Rd?
|
Ooops! A bit slow, Munster looks very likely :)
|
Thanks Joan, Kite and Georgette :)
I'll try Google Street View later and see what it's like around there. Does that say retired ~ after John Jennings' name ? Joan this is the first time I've come across Elizabeth's father (great excitement) ! Her mother (Jane Looker) never married and I always assumed Eliza was given the second name, Brand, because it was her father's surname :confused: ~ so now we have another mystery to solve. Elizabeth is not that close an ancestor so I've not gone for a birth cert |

Isn't it likely that Elizabeth's father's name was Robert Brand, but the word Looker was added by the vicar who made an assumption about the marital status of Elizabeth's parents! |
Thanks Merry
I do wonder if Robert was entirely made up ~ is that another possibility ? |
Did I see Eliza(beth) was born in Chelsea? No farmers called Robert brand in the area in 1881 but I suppose we don't know where she was conceived!
Where did Jane originate from? Farmer could well mean ag lab lol!! |
