John died in 1908 and I don't have him in 1903 electoral roll so no clue re occupation.

I read the name as Leonard but should be Lennon.

Thanks Emeltee.

A Hawker when he died. We are lucky. I searched the page for another 'D' and found one. The marriage above on the page - Furniture Dealer - so Dealer.

Charles Geldart/Gildart is a witness to several marriages on the page so I won't try to connect him.

I have one more marriage at the same church but it's a different minister and easier to read.
