William Thompson was a seagoing fireman (boiler stoker). William Bland was a blacksmith. I have seen the 1881 census data Thanks. John

John, Is that William Bland or William Bland Thompson? Is there are occupation for either of the Williams on the marriage cert. Do you know if William was a sailor or a passenger on the ship? Maureen
