It appears that Emmeline Lory Cook (born Yorks) and Alice Amy Cook were sisters.

The family are living at Narcissus Villa, Lower Station Road, Wood Ditton, Newmarket in 1891.

NettieS - Thank you.  Spurred on by you posting the birth of Alice Amy.

Lucky they were on the 1891 as I haven't found them on other census records, they certainly moved about a bit.

At least with the two wives being sisters Eric has only one set of ancestors to trace.

As far as I am aware it was illegal in England to marry a deceased wife's sister between 1835 and 1907 but expect it was OK in France etc.
Anyway many such couples in England did marry regardless, or as in a case in my family said they were married!

Eric - There is a birth registered of a Lory Smart in December quarter 1850.
Chichester district 7 363
