HI Sheila, English marriage certificate never give anything other than the fathers names and occupations of the bride and groom, no mothers names appear on marriage certificates. If you have the original image from the parish register then that is the best copy of the marriage entry you could ever have as it is what the couple signed, or made their marks to, at the time they married. A copy of that parish register entry would be sent, by the vicar conducting the marriage, to the Registrars office who then makes another copy to send on to the General Register Office, GRO, who then make up the GRO index that we can access on line. Making copies in this way can leave things open to errors creeping in, as Nivard said. You are lucky to have the image of the original marriage register. How many Ephraim Sparrows appear in the censuses? I doubt there are too many of them and there would only be one or two Tryphenia Sparrows I suspect. I think you would find it fairly easy to tie them together as father and daughter if you check how many people by those names appear in the various censuses. Look at her father's occupation on the marriage and see if it compares with his occupation in the censuses. Men did sometimes change occupation but if he had a trade then you might be lucky that he carried on the same trade all his life. Regards Jenny DeAngelis. <<It is the marriage between Tryphenia Sparrow(b 1863) and Edward Wright (b 1862) on 29 Jun 1880 at Clerkenwell St Paul. I was hoping for a bit more information about her parents as although It tells me her father is Ephrain (m) Sparrow I can't find any information to link her to the Ephraim Sparrow I find in the census lists.>>
