I have not been able to decipher much from their marriage certificate either, that script and quality of certificate is even harder for me to comprehend - that is still a work in progress, I was hoping it would lead me to his parents names.
All his census records that I've been able to get have had his occupation change every 10 years, so I am unable to link the two but so far he was been a net worker, baker and janitor so a gun maker doesn't seem unreasonable.
Thank you for your time and help
