Hi folks I have just received marriage cert from FoD Reg Office (very prompt and efficient) for Richard PREDDY(Pridey) and Hannah GARDNER in 1840 in Newnham. Good for you I hear you say! BUT Hannah's father is given as John YEMM (!) A quick peek at the IGI showed hundreds of John YEMM's in FoD,bit of a local name it seems! Hannah was a spinster aged 17 when she married,so Gardner is not a previous marriage. Has anyone got any ideas as to how I should investigate this one? I look forward to your suggestions. Simon
