I have been searching for John Berry and have just found a death of that name in Thornton le Street, it is the only thing I have been able to find about him,the year was 1847, his son Robert Edward was born in Thornton le Street and married in Leicester in 1868, but on the marriage certificate his father is down as a woodman,and not deceased, could I have the wrong one,or was it usual to put deceased if they had died? Liz. |

On my grandparents marriage certificate (1900) the bride's father is named and occupation given and no mention of him being dead for over 20 years. I think it depends sometimes on how the question was phrased..... |

If the vicar or registrar didn't think to ask if his father was alive or dead, then perhaps he just gave his name and occupation without thinking to say that he was deceased. Kath. x |

It doesn't always say deceased if the father was dead, but John Berry is a pretty common name. Kate. |

Hi Kate, I think it is the same father now, but will try 1837 and see if I can find any more about him. Thanks, Liz. |
