Lillian Mary Dowell. The Allegation was required because he was German and may have been either a Roman Catholic or a Lutheran. The latter is the more likely as the majority of the population in Dresden where he was born in 1876 were Lutherans. Also Lilian was underage and her mother's consent to the marriage was required (her father was dead).

Emily was Lilian's mother; the relationship of the other witness to couple is not known. The marriage took place by licence - an Allegation - because Ernest was German. The Allegation acknowledges that Lilian was underage but that she has the permission of her mother to marry (her father was dead).
