Sorry..eyesight problems again! It was indeed 38 on the Certificate..I do apologise.

Yes, it is definitely confusing as to whether the word is 'HAYHILL', 'HAYNILL' or 'HAYMILL'. I have been looking at hand-written certificates for 30 years now and studies those from 1837 onwards. Also old records back to the 1700s and I think I can now have a good crack at handwriting deciphering. However this one took me a half-hour to study the letter and work out what it was and I proved that it was not an 'h'. In the end a guess at HayMill proved correct as a search engine search proved my suggestion correct.

Interesting that the marriage was post-war. May I enquire whether the happy couple moved to Canada or stayed in the UK??
