Ann Clears GOWING married Albert PRATT 1880 (b c 1857)in Fulham (As Annie Clares Gowing). She died Dec Q 1887 (b c 1856)in Wandsworth.
Albert remarried 1889 to Annie Eliza BEGLEY.(b c 1865)
I can't find Albert in census(es) to confirm where he came from, nor can I find either wife after they married.
Albert is apoliceman and at the time of both marriages was living in Bridge Street Battersea.
Any help locating them would be appreciated - I am trying to see if there were any children.
