I now have the marr. cert: 1 Sep 1864

William John Herring, 26, WIDOWER, Mariner, 19 Coronation St, Father:John Herring (deceased), Occ: Weaver

Jane Ann Greig, 24, spinster, 19 Coronation St, Father David Pattison Greig, Baker

Witnesses: John Hox?, Sister Agnes Greig

So he was married before Jane, I believe to Jane E Paxton 1862

Who can help to find John?

Regards,
Chris

Thats a shame because we do not know if John is deceased by 1872 or what his occupation is or if any of the witnesses are related

How do you know the name of father without the marriage cert ?

The 1841 Scottish census can be searched on occupation
