On the marriage certificate, they were married in the presence of Lizzie Humphries,Hector's birth certificate that I have has the wrong spelling [e] missing but marriage certificate spelt correct.I have convinced myself I had the wrong birth certificate,but looking at it his mother sign's with a cross. I would never of thought of looking at wrong spelling's.
