In the presence of George Geden and Sarah Elizabeth Geden (Sarah was sister of Mary Ann, George was her husband). Note: Joseph cited his grandfather as his father. This presumably means his mother had died before his marriage or at least that he did not know who she was. Valentine was also not officially a gamekeeper (he does not appear in the Gamekeeper records at Gloucester Record Office). Note: The Marriage Certificate is a copy of entry 157 in the Marriage Register Books made by William Carmont Allsehook of Badsey Vicarage on 1 May 1914.
