Yes I had the marriage of Rose to Charles Keen and the details are correct for Rose, my husband's gt grandmother. I was puzzled by the marriage to James Cane. I know James and Rose went to Canada as my husband's aunt used to visit the relatives there but I just had those few names . I wish I had asked about them before she died. My husband's grandmother was an illegitimate child of Rose born in Suffolk and brought up in Kent by the grandparents James Gascoyne and Emma. On 1881 census Charles Keen gave his birthplace as Oxford and in 1871 he was born Bucks. He had a brother James.
I need to get the marriage certificate of Rose and James to see if she was a spinster and if she was the daughter of James Gascoyne as shown correctly in the first marriage.
I am probably wrong thinking the husbands were brothers as there seem to be many Charles Keens and the similarity with Cane was confusing.
Thank you very much for the points you raise - a great help.
