Marriage Look Up Request Francis Joseph Francis and Lois Lydia Clark 1881-1885

[nellie d]

Hello
I am looking for any record of the marriage of
Francis Joseph Francis b 1850 Marylebone
Occupation Compositor
Father Francis Joseph Francis Shipping Agent
To
Lois Lydia Clark b Buckden Huntingdon July 1851
Died July 1885 Lambeth

Francis Joseph subsequently married
Emily Grace Freeman in 1887 and
Georgina Skeet in 1890

Unfortunately I cannot find Francis Joseph on any census to give me an idea of location.
On the 1881 census, Lois Lydia was still unmarried and working as a servant  in Camberwell.
 
The only child of Lois Lydia and Francis Joseph was Francis George, who was born July 1885, Lambeth.
My supposition is that she died in or shortly after childbirth.

I have searched high and low with no success. There is a Francis Joseph Francis marrying a Louisa Norman in Brighton, and on first look on census it appears he is a printer, but that seems to be an error in transcribing, as I think it actually reads as painter. This particular chap, born 1851, Soho, turns up in quite a lot of census returns for Brighton as a painter. My Francis Joseph was definitely a compositor.

Here’s hoping that one of you lovely folk can help shed some light!

The only Lois Lydia marriage was 1883 Poplar and her surname was Andrews & she married William Albert Sheppard

Nellie d, you say he "married 3 women" do you have any evidence he actually married any of them. How have you established his approx birth year please, do you know when he died?

Thanks

I have a copy of the baptism entry of all three children. It has Lois Lydia as the mother of the son and Emily Grace for the girls. I also have my great grandads birth and marriage certs. His mother is recorded as Lois Lydia Francis ( deceased) formerly Clarke. He is down as F J Francis, Compositor and on my grandfather’s marriage cert as Francis Francis, compositor.
