Rootgatherer and LiverBird
Thank you both for all the information.I would never have found it without you!
I have not found a marriage at all.I suspected they were not actually married,but could be wrong.

Think that it is just one of those names open to mistranscription Jany.

Can't see an obvious marriage for them so that too may be mistranscribed!

Thank you for adding the 1881

He seems in the same place in 1881 and is listed as married and his wife is not with him. Then again as she is a Sick Nurse she may be nursing elsewhere.
