This is a Ketubah - either parents or grandparents and because thier is no English scribed, I don't know which. It may be a duplicate which was needed for a second marriage (if it was my Grandad).

anyway, If at all possible, can anyone make out the script and give me a translation so I can match the document to the right person in my family tree.

thanks very much
Aki

Unfortunately, this Ketubah left short "blanks" for filling in the names and other details, which made it necessary for these to be squeezed in; in addition, the person writing the name did not have the neatest handwriting and also used some flourishes. In addition, the names are written a bit differently almost every time they appear (for example, one version of the bride's name seems to imply that her father was a rabbi).

Here are my best guesses:

The marriage took place in London on Sunday, the 10th of Tevet, 5686 (which was December 27th, 1925).

The groom was Pesach son of Yehuda _____

The bride was Sarah daughter of Eliyahu Shalom

If you can now determine whose Ketuba this was, and can provide me more details about the bride, groom, and their fathers, I might then be able to decipher those letters that I either cannot read at all, or have guessed at.
