I agree with rosie99, you need to check your dates. If William Henry was born in 1883 and married in 1896 that would have made him 13 years old. The marriages on ancestry and find my past are for 1915, Esther's name is listed as Hargrave.

The 13 children were all born in Northwich. Mother's maiden name is listed as Hargreaves for some, and Hargrave for others.

Hi all, thanks for the assistance, it appears I suffered from fat finger syndrome!! I have obviously started to look into census etc too, I will continue my search. There is a discrepancy re Hargreaves/Hargrave but I think it a bad spelling at the time of registry. but, thanks aghain for the help, much appreciated.

It's not uncommon for names to be mis transcribed or misspelt so its useful to try a variation of spellings. If you need any further help then just shout
