I have recently received a marriage certificate for my GG Grandfather but his fathers christian name is unreadable. The witnesses were the bride's father and another member of her family but I can't tell what their initial is.

Could SKS who has access to the Parish marriage register for St Mary's, Portsea have a look for me.

26 Sep 1858
Saint Marys, Portsea, Hampshire
Groom: William James GOUGH, Age: 22
Spouse: Adelaide GUMB, Age: 23
Husband's Father: ??? GOUGH
Wife's Father: Richard GUMB

Thanks,
Stu

Linda & Tony,

I wasn't 100% sure about Henry but it was my first choice although it looked more like "Henri" than "Henry", just wish it was a bit clearer.

I also agree with the J GUMB just wasn't sure if it was a G.

Many thanks for checking the marriage.
