This is a stab in dark but there is a marriage for Harry Ibbotson to Sarah Swain 1915 Sheffield. Does anyone have any further info, ie father.

Harry Ibbotson born 1889 married Sarah Swain Dec 11th 1915 atSt Georges Brook Hill. He was a Machine File Cutter and his father was Joseph Ibbotson a labourer. Info on FMP

Many thanks, sadly it not the correct Harry

Hi David,

Could you give us an idea of when he was born and where in Sheffield he was living.
Occupation would also help.

May I ask did Harry's age definitely say 22? Becouse his birth date was 12 June 1867 which should have made him 24, although his fathers details does make it look right.

Having looked at the image on FMP I think it reads 23.

It does say 23 and Elizabeth is 22 so an easy comparison with writing.

OK thanks for checking. I'm sure it's the correct Harry.
