Hi all
I am looking for a William Thorpe born about 1860 in Leeds. He married a Mary Jane ? sometime before 1891 as William is on the 1891 census age 29 with his wife Mary Jane age 26 and a son Edgar Thorpe who was 3, William is listed as a Cloth Milner, all living in Armley Leeds. They had another son Albert Thorpe in 1895. I have William aged 40 with Mary Jane but no children in 1901 living in Armley. In 1911 i have William aged 50, Mary Jane aged 49, Edgar aged 23 and Albert aged 16 living in Normanton Yorkshire. It also says they had 6 children, 4 who had died and 2 living which would be Edgar and Albert. I cant find any more info on Edgar Thorpe after 1911. I need help finding what Mary Janes surname was before marriage and where was William Thorpe in the 1871 and 1881 census when he was a child. Any help great fully received.

Looking at Albert, born 1895 in Armley (which comes under Bramley Registration District) on GRO, then mother's maiden name is Wraith.
-
But looking at Edgar, born 1889 in Wortley (Hunslet Registration District) mother's maiden name is Herrington. :-\ :-\

Thanks Bumble
If its any help the 1911 census says they had been married 24 years.
-
Yes, I had seen that - not a lot of help really as I still can't see a marriage.

I wonder if Mary Jane was the WRAITH who married Samuel BATT 20 Apr 1885 Leeds? (Image on Ancestry). Her father was Richard WRAITH. Samuel's was Edwin BATT.
Would perhaps account for Edgar?
