So nothing like the Transcription then ????
And having been an Acountant?? at one point you would think he could write more clearly.
Lucky he hadnt been a Doctor !

I obviously cant squint correctly Maureen,I will leave that to you...:)

PM from Carol to say that this is the correct Joseph on 1911 as she now has his marriage cert.

MATHER, Joseph Son Single M 22 1889 Engraver Brass Lpool Lancashire

With father Joseph and mother Margaret.

And to answer the question as to where Joseph 1862 says he was born ,I cant read the 1911 entry.

Joseph 1862 says he was born in Liverpool on 1901 and Liverpool on 1891.

There are quite a few on 1911 to choose from and none with second name of Garner or even initial G.

His occupation would help to narrow it down.
