A person with the occupation of Chemist does not have to be what we no today as a Pharmacist, |

On my mother's marriage cert she did not mention her father was deceased - he had been dead for 20 years by then! I think it depends on who asks the question and how they ask it! |

I have a marriage certificate dated 1864, the brides father was stated as a Chemist and as the word deceased is not there I presumed that he would be alive, however on the 1861 census her mother was a widow and I cannot find his death between 1851 and 1861. On the census in 1851 he was a Gentleman and in the 1841 census he was a rag merchant, Now my questions are, was it usual to state that the brides father was deceased at the time of marriage? Also what are the chances of changing occupations from rag merchant to gentleman to chemist? On his wife's death certificate he was also a chemist. I have double checked and I do have the correct person. I'm sorry to ramble but I am getting very frustrated. Regards Cherryl |
