Hi Liz,

Thanks very much for this. As you've rightly guessed, I hadn't tracked
Walter James ETTLE back as he's such a distant twig. I probably wouldn't
have thought about him, but for this E surnames project.

But now, because of the above information, I have looked at this family
again, and I can see that his parents were bachelor, Joseph ETTLE, and
spinster, Emily HOPES, both of Oldland and both of full age, who were
married on 16th. January 1860 at Bitton. Joseph ETTLE was a collier as were
both the fathers, William ETTLE and William HOPES. Emily HOPES was a
staymaker. Both gave their marks and the witnesses were Mary PARSONS and
Simpson PARSONS.

So -- I have learnt something new today:-)
