First Certificates Arrived

The death certificate arrived for Maria Washer and after so long of hmming and ah-ing as to whether or not to buy it, it turns out to be the right one - widow of William Washer and mother of Matilda Young, who registered the death. (Matilda seems to have registered the death of almost everyone in her family). Now if I could only decipher what it was she died of...

The marriage certificate was for Alfred Young and the witnesses were his brother John and wife Sarah Young, proving that the two East End Youngs are indeed my missing brothers from Bridgwater.

Not bad. In about a week, my more speculative certs will turn up. Can't wait!
