Hello all, I am new on your list and have only just started my research in this part of England. Here I was thinking Tipton was Staffordshire, and now I find the registration district is actually Worcestershire... I am not sure how big an ask this is, but I have received the GRO Marriage certificate for my Great-Grandfather and all seems right except his and his father's occupation. I am wondering if anyone has access to the parish register they may be able to check this up for me please? Details are: Marriage 17 Jan 1871 St James Church, Parish of Dudley. Edwin Edwards, 21 (groom) My question is that Edwin and his father John are both shown with occupation Puddler. They were in fact both Painters. Bearing in mind that both start with P and end in ER, I am wondering if the person who transcribed the certificate at the GRO mis-read the words. I would appreciate it if anyone had access to the parish reg. and could check on this for me please. Regards Louise Reynolds Melbourne, Aus.
