Dear Brian and Philip (et al) I'm not sure if JOFFE is correct (I agree that the FreeBMD does show the index page is typed and depicts JOFFE). However Jewish Chronicle has the name as JAFFE. It also mentions the death of Wolfe JAFFE, father of Rose (JAFFE) GOLDFIELD. A Wolfe JAFFE of Manchester is also mentioned JewishGen's Shtetl Links about the BOR family. Can anyone shed further light on this?

Dear All, Checking on LancashireBMD shows that the brides surname was on the Marriage Register as either or both JAFFE or JAFFE.
