Hi Eileen. I am not connected but had a look for you.

Marriage of a William Edwin Milner to Mary Rachel Short. 1876. April/June Qtr. reg in Hull. vol 9d 390.

On one of the census records it shows her Mum as Batty, but her Mother may have married again. Only way to check is to get a copy of one of the birth certificates for the children.

With a copy of the birth certificate for William Edwin 1888 this should give his Mother maiden name so you can confirm or deny Mary Rachel Short.

copy of
William Edwin. 1855. Should give you his Mums maiden name to help find their marriage which I have not managed yet.

I hope this fills in a few gaps. Let me know how you get on. Ethel.

I am trying to find information about my grandfather, William Edwin Milner, born 1889 in Newcastle. He played football for Goole Town FC before marrying Ethel Morris, becoming a french polisher and moving to Doncaster.
