Back searching for my grand father.I have a marriage and death certificate,although there is a slight discrepancy with his age.
Marriage certificate William Thomas Parsons and Lucy Emily Bennett. 1924
The Register Office District Lewisham County London
William age 46 Widower, occupation Cable Maker,15 barbette Avenue, Well Hall
His father William Thomas Parsons (deceased) occupation Stonemason.
Lucy Emily Bennett age 30 also living at 15 Barbette Avenue, Well Hall her Edwin Bennett, occupation general Labourer. A little difficult in reading the witnesses initials H or T May and GW B chambers.
Death certificate William Thomas Parsons 1932 Greenwich East London
Address 48 Varnbrugh Hill age 56 living at 15 Barbette Ave ,Eltham occupation Borough Council Labourer.
If I could find out to whom he was married before it might help with filling in the gaps.
Any guidance would be appreciated, many thanks Angie
