             looking for 2nd marriage and death of my gr grandfather WILLIAM OVERTON born 1836 in Bucknell Shrops married and lived in Leominster ,wife died in 1901. He remarried between 1901 and 1905 as his youngest son THOMAS emigrated to USA in 1905 and attended his father`s wedding before he went, The bride was supposed to be a spinster lady who lived "in the next
village"  Registers in Hereford and Leominster checked, nothing, Only possible seems to be Madeley   in March 1902. How far is Madeley from Bucknell ,trying to see if "next village "is feasable!!!!!!
 Any suggestions/ pointers welcome.

 My sentiments exactly,my gr grandmother Susan died in Mar 1901  which seemed to inspire a spate of marriages

  Her youngest daughter also a Susan but known as Annie
married in December 1901
,    Her  widower in March 1902 if this marriage is correct,trying to work out who married who,!!!! My cousin in usa seems to think it was an Emma he married ,but emily`s not far out!!!!
       my grandmother moved to Wales and married on Christmas Day 1904  probably so the youngest son Thomas could  emigrate knowing everyone was settled!!!!
