I have a wedding certificate on which I can't make out the groom's father. Other bits are iffy as well, but that's the important bit. If anyone fancies a go email me and I will send attach the certificate. (Going up the pub @ 9.15, so I may not reply till tomorrow)

I'll have a go, if you'd like to send me a copy. In my years of being a secretary I learned to read all sorts - I used to work for one man who regularly asked what he'd written, because I could read his writing better than he could. Jan.
