Photos from William Lord's family

The following photos are of children of William Lord, the brother of Jabez Lord.  After having a couple of descendants contact me, I thought these photos needed to be shared rather than kept on a hard drive gathering dust.

Arthur Lord

Charles Pollard Lord, with wife and child

 George Whitworth Lord - his name confirms that his grandmother was Mary Whitworth.
William Lord II, doesn't he look like his father!
Emily Annie Holland, Sarah Ellen Rollo, Alice Elizabeth Cleaver (all nee Lord)

A mysterious marriage certificate

The following marriage certificate is wrong wrong wrong.  My 3 x great grandmother Elizabeth Gillespie married William Henry Luff in 1868 in Hokitika.  They sent off an intention to marriage and the husband's name was spelt William Henry Liff.  Just slightly wrong.  But on the marriage certificate the husband was named as William Peterson.  The strange thing was that there was a William Peterson living in the area at the time.  Did the minister get a bit confused and write down the wrong person?  What are the names of the witnesses and what was there relationship to my ancestors.  All of this is interesting to me.  The flickr image can be blown up for greater detail.
