My GG Grandfather was Law Ramsden - I have looked at his marriage to Rachel Jepson Q4 1864 on GR, but I find it difficult to read his middle name - the middle name is not shown on the 1901 census. |

If you mean 1884 and it's a Huddersfield marriage, then the Ancestry image is a typed one and is Law Cookson Ramsden. |

William Standing and Emma Thirkill are not witnesses. They are just another couple who are on the same page of the register. |

Cookson is likely to be either his mother's maiden name, or perhaps a grandmother's maiden name. It was not unknown in the Victorian period for women to keep their names going by using them as middle names for their sons. I have numerous cases of it in my own tree. |

Wow - a big thank you to all that have contributed ( and I have learned more about the info available) - it makes up for my many hours spent this afternoon - so much progress made - I will now update my tree and move on to verifying other details tomorrow. |
