Skuse family

[Helina]

Walter Skuse born 1876, parents John and Mary Ann Skuse, ? married Phobe in 1907.  According to the 1911 census they had been married for 4 years and had 3 sons

Charles Henry b 1904
Walter Joseph b 1907
Albert Edward b 1910
All born in Downend Bristol.

On the GRO site could find no record of the 2 first sons, third son gave the mother's surname as Cope.  Looked under name Cope as sons born before marriage, no luck. 

On FreeBMD found a birth in 1886 for a Phoebe Elizabeth Cope but again can find no record of a marriage for Walter Skuse in 1907.

Any help would be appreciated

According to the 1911 census the children were all born End Glouster, County Down the same as Walter and Phobe. I think you should be looking in Ireland for the marriage.
