I can't see why Thomas's father should be William Jacobs on the marriage entry - perhaps he was 'William Jacob Steadman' ???

I found this death which fits his age and the area:

BUT, 'IF' I am correct, he was not dead before 1881 but boarding with his brother Mark & family!

Hi guys - sorry been out shopping :-)

Yes Dea I had thought possibly William Jacob(s) was actually William Jacob Steadman.

And I too had looked at that Thomas....on A there is a marriage to Ellen Vickers (marriage 1870) but that marriage is on bmd as Stadmans and her Vickras. And if this was to be him then she was still alive when he married Jane :-(

I suspect a bit of skullduggery going on!!!!!!!

Will be offline now for a bit - rushing to get slow-roast pork cooked so daughter number 2 can have a cooked dinner before returning to Wimbledon this afternoon :-)
