    On this marriage cert I'm trying to make out the surname of the father of the bride.

    Here is a link to the full cert to compare letters:

    The cert dates from 1874 and the lady is most likely Welsh. You can see that she was previously married to a Mr. Williams.

    Thanks!

    That checks out. I can find a Margaret Elias and a John Williams marrying in the same district in 1868 when she would have been 21. And I can find a 23 year old John Williams also in the same reg district who died in 1870 so worth checking.

    I'm on bogland internet (E) at the mom so cannot easily load stuff - their kids should be in the 1901 census, are you working back from that or have you looked?
