Hi Does anyone have any information about the above who married on Christmas Day in 1882. He was born in 1861 and she was born in 1872. Elizabeth died in 1883 after the birth of her daughter Edith. Edward remarried and probably had more children but I have no more details. I am also interested in Thomas Johnson, the father of Elizabeth. His wife Mary later remarried George Starkey and they ran at least 3 pubs in Sheffield - The Queen's Hotel on Eccleshall Road, The Bay Horse on Willey Street and the Crown in the Wicker. Many thanks for any assistance.

If so, it doesn't look as though there were any children of the second marriage.

Thank you very much. I think the first 3 are correct but am uncertain about the 4th as it was always believed that there were further children.
