Hello Snowball, Kay & Maureeen,

Thanks so mich for that great bit of sleuthing.

Kay I had not considered the value of looking up the GRO for this information before and its a great idea.  i do for Australian records but had not for UK records.

[edit - add] Also its interesting the marriage seemingly late in life.  A pair of my great great grandparents married before migrating to Australia.  Apparently they had to be 'of good character' and marriage was a way of demonstrating good character.  Perhaps the reverse was true - if one had all these children without the benefit of marriage then perhaps this was a demonstration of 'bad' character?
