From St Cuthbert's Marriage Register:
05.02.1879
Timothy Tabron (21) Bachelor, Bricklayer, Churchtown; father Joseph, Labourer, married
Elizabeth Ruffler (19) Spinster, Churchtown - no father listed
Witnesses: Peter Rimmer and Elizabeth Ann x Cadwell
05.02.1879
Peter Rimmer (21) Bachelor, Bricklayer, Churchtown; father Thomas, Labourer, married
Elizabeth Ann Cadwell (20) Spinster, Marshside; father James, labourer
Witnesses: Timothy Tabron and Elizabeth Ruffler
NOW - which of the female witnesses used a false name If the two couples married on the same day (as per the Register) surely one of the ladies would have a different name by the time she was a witness for the second couple who married?
Does the Golden Wedding article mention a double wedding?

Incase you cant see it, the writing at the botton reads....
Mr and Mrs Tim Tabron celebrated their Golden Wedding in Southport on Tuesday. Mr Tabron still carries on his trade as a bricklayer in spite of his 72 years. He had five sons who served in the war, and lost one. His wife is 70 years of age.

Great!!
Thanks for that, Lynda. I have never seen a picture of these two, who are my great grandparents.
How did you get the picture, if you don't mind my asking.
Oh thats great, I am glad they are related to you - I just recognised the name from spotting it here last night.
I was going through the mini flims of the Southport Visiter looking for Obits at the library. So, its in the quarter containing Feb 1929. If you want the print out I did send me your address by PM and I will post it to you.
Dellboy the Southport Reference library hold film of all the back issues of the Southport Visiter - 1844 to the present time. The most recent issues they keep until they are transferred to film
If you know the exact date of a death for example library staff will look in the local papers for a funeral report - not sure what they charge, it depends how long the search takes
I do free searches for society members.
But each print out costs 50 pence - the library charge not mine I should add.

Found an obituary in an old issue of the Southport Visiter today:
22nd January 1938
TABRON, Timothy died 19th January aged 81 years at his home 50 Hereford-road. Interment today at 2pm at St Cuthbert's.
25th January 1938
Miss Tabron wishes to thank doctors, relatives and all kind friends for their sympathy and beautiful floral tributes during her recent sad bereavement.
Also got a copy of the funeral report if anybody wants it? I'm not good at scanning but willing to give it a go
