Might you be getting Joseph Pearson Sedgley mixed up with Joseph Pollard Sedgley ?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 18 Oct 2010 17:20

There is a public tree on Ancestry which has his spouse as Alice Cooper, born London 1864 (birth details apparently taken from census).

Although the tree is well documented they do not have any marriage details for the couple so have obviously encountered the same problem.

Can't see a marriage.........this will confirm Alice's surname

If you have the censuses, you could have mentioned that Alice's name may have been COOPER.....................

Have just noticed the Ancestry tree owner has a death record attached:

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
about Alice Sedgley
Name: Alice Sedgley
Death Registration Month/Year: 1934
Age at death (estimated): 70
Registration district: Stockport
Inferred County: Cheshire
Volume: 8a
Page: 121

However, she may just have called herself Mrs Sedgley.

If he was was living with sister in law called cooper in 1891, her name was probably Cooper but whether they married ??
