Thanks for your reply. I did send for details of what appeared to be the correct marriage, but on further investigation though both were on the same page, they actually married other people, so sadly I still haven't been able to track the marriage down. They travelled around a lot - which doesn't help - selling pottery/ceramics etc. They also appear to move between Shropshire and various locations in Wales, which also confuses matters. As a result I haven't been able to get back that much further. I live in hope though. thanks for your kind thoughts about my mother - time is as ever a great healer.

Best wishes, and thanks.
