Could someone more experienced please help! Ihave the marriage certificate of my ggrandad and ggrandmother Ebenezer Sidney Kemp b1884 and Mary Ann Amelia Turner b 1883. They married in 1910 @ St Carter the Great Church Chichester. I cannot read the first name of Mary Ann's father, it begins with W. Can anyone please help in finding anything on Mary Ann, I would be very very grateful. Sara

If it does start with W then it could be Walter or William (or an abbreviation). Does it say what his occupation is?

I think I'd go for the birth cert next just to double check.
As Mary had 3 forenames the one I found looks correct.
