If so, then can I assume that the column for Father is empty. What does it say Henry's occupation was on the marriage cert?? Sometimes, if you were illegitimate, you "invented" a father to avaoid embarrassment. It does not look like Harriet married, She is a servant (Spelled Prideaun) b Dunster in 1871 and in 1881 is still single living with her brother William b 1810.
