And Mary Ann didnt marry again after Isaac died so it can't confusion there.

Looking through the 1881 couldn't see any Henry Wilcox who were anything to do with guns?If it helps i had a ancestor whose marriage cert came and her father was recorded on the cert as David.On all census records he was listed as Daniel-except 1!I think it would be an idea like you said to get 1 of the sibling marriage certs and see what father's name is listed as.

Middle names aren't always mentioned.Look at my example i had in my own tree.His birth record had no mention of Daniel.

It must be so frustrating for you cos everything fits to the Elizabeth with father Isaac even down to his occupation-which wasn't hugely common.

I think that is the only logical step left is to order John Williams marriage cert and see what it holds...after all another certificate cant hurt either way.

Under normal circumstances I might have thought that she didn't know enough about her father to record it properly but she registered her mothers death and clearly put "widow of Isaac Wilcox" so its not that either. :( xx
