Hi Sandra,

I make the first part of the certificate as:

James Prentice, farmer, married to Janet Nimmo

All the best,

AndrewP

Is there any chance that Eliz. Prentice fathers name could be John and not James, that is what is on her dc that I had uploaded earlier on this post
Sandra, It's definitely James. It's more than possible that the informant on her DC made a mistake. I've got a few where this has happened.

I agree about the wife on that DC being Janet Nimmo.
