Yes safc. I was trying to find the groom's father's name, his mother seems to be Allanson surname. Thank you.
By the way, did you see the address 15 Henry Street was the same where Margaret lived in 1891 census with her uncle?
So, back to my original question, do you know if the marriage certificate would have any more info than this, or am I out of luck!
Perhaps I should try for the birth certificate instead.

I have a copy of marriage (1895) information but it shows no father's names listed for the husband. If I ordered a marriage certificate would it have more information, or just what I have now from the church record?
