it has been assumed that Eliza is his mother. But we have to consider the possibility of this being a second marriage. :) :)

Have we noticed how the age gap between John and Eliza has crept up from 14 years in 1871 to 19 years in 1891?

There is a marriage for an Abraham Bland in Leeds in 1902, maybe he went back to his roots ???
