Wonder if anyone could help me. I have the marriage of Samuel Criddle b 1861 Fitzhead and Amy Goss Hawkings b 1867 Tiverton on July 4th 1889, St Peter's Church, Tiverton, Devon. Witnesses are shown as Tom Northam Pratt and Edith Hawkins. I have tried to search for Tom Northam Pratt but can't find him on any census. Does anyone know if parish records would show the relationship between the witness and the bride/groom? |

Last time I looked at Parish Records for marriages about 2 out of every 3 had the same witnesses - who were possibly some sort of church warden |

Don't know if it's any use, but this looks to be the Thomas you are looking for. |
