Thanks for all the help.

The address on the marriage certificate is The Lye, the marriage took place in Old Swinford, Worcestershire. Bear in mind this is the certificate with James as Matildas father.

The Joseph Woodall who married Mary Ann Smart has been discounted as I have found a census return (1901) for them at the same time as my Joseph is recorded at matilda and davids.

I agree about maybe they married later - it wouldn't be the first time I've come across that.

Susan

Susan Report 11 Apr 2010 14:31

I've checked the census returns I have. The only one I'm confident of is 1861. Joseph's occupation is puddler in Dudley.

Potty

Potty Report 11 Apr 2010 14:30

1861 has a Matilda Woodhall b1853 Dudley, with father Joseph - a puddler.

Maybe the father's name was wrongly entered in the register, or, as the 1877 marriage is after the birth of the first children, it is for a different couple and your pair either married later or not at all!

Susan

Susan Report 11 Apr 2010 14:20

I am reasonably sure that James Woodall is a red herring.
I have Matilda down as being born in Dudley in about 1853.

Susan

Susan Report 11 Apr 2010 14:16

There is no occupation on the 1901 Census. I haven't found a convincing Joseph on the census returns (I have found one but I can place him at a different address in 1901)!
James Woodall was a puddler.
