I have numerous Bexon family members in my tree already but I can't find this one.
Can anyone tell me who his parents were, please? I know he married Sarah Elizabeth Woolley during the Apr-Jun Qtr 1913 in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
Sarah, nee Claypole, married Matthew Woolley in 1876 and Matthew died in 1887. Sarah died in 1943 also at Melton Mowbray.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know when John died, which will give an indication of his birth year?
Sarah's age at death is given as 88, therefore they were not a young couple when married.

The marriage cert for John's marriage in 1913 would hopefully give his father's name.

Hi friends,
Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I already have John 1845-1920 in my tree, son of Charles & Sarah Hallam. John married Eleanor Peasgood first in 1864. As she died in 1912 it could well be that this John married Sarah Elizabeth Woolley. I know Sarah was 52 when she married for the second time in 1913.
I only stumbled across the 1913 marriage recently whilst researching the Claypole line and I had hoped someone may be able to look up the details of that marriage to confirm this was one of my Bexon family members.
