> I need to check the accuracy of some information contained on my
great grandparents' marriage certificate.

> The marriage took place in the Parish of St Paul Birmingham, in the
county of Warwick on 11 January 1876.

> John Lawerance DOURETTY (see below) and Selina WILSON.

> The microfiche records I looked up showed the man's surname as
DONRETTY but the certificate I have received (which is handwritten)
shows that it could be either DOURETTY or DOWETTY. Our family name is
in fact DOHERTY and census information shows the name as DOHERTY so I
assume this is just an error in the transcription of the handwriting.
However, I am having trouble finding this man's birth certificate
(even though census information confirms that he was born in
Birmingham) so would like some clarification as to his name on the
original Parish register.
>
> Also, his father is stated to be Patrick LAWERANCE. I suspect he is
actually Patrick Lawerance DOHERTY (or a version thereof) because his
address and profession are listed and therefore it would be unlikely
that he would be the father of an illegitimate child. However, I
would like some verification of this because it would also help me in
my search for the birth certificate.
