wow how good are you !!!! thank you

Not sure where Hannah was but it seems Reubin was already married to her (marriage in 1836 is on the IGI - she was Hannah Bailey!!). There's also a christening for Reubin to Thomas and Susannah... go and have a look

UPDATE!!

I am almost certain that the families mentioned on this thread are mine BUT on Eliza's marriage cert to Isaac Bailey she says that George, her father, is an Innkeeper, not a coal miner! She defintely has a brother called Herbert Buttery (he is boarding with them in 1901) and the only family with both a Herbert and Eliza as children is the George and Emily family!! 

Wits on marriage are William Buttery and Mary Ann Buttery. Any help most appreciated!

Boy, that cert took some time to arrive 

I too am convinced it's the correct family. Maybe George went on to be a Innkeeper after 1891? He dies in 1900 therefore we can't check it out on the census unfortunately

I do agree with Tati that it is the correct family but there is a George Buttery on the 1891 census living at "George Inn", occupation Beer Retailer. RG12/2098  82  pg14  Although, he is still in Shropshire!

He dies in 1900 therefore we can't check it out on the census unfortunately   

What does the death certificate say?
