perhaps he'd been married before he met Elizabeth, and wasn't free to legalise their union

He was a few years older than her

I always forget to put some informaion in my posts.

James according to the 1951 census was born in N K Sussex, which I am led to believe is not known Sussex
Elizabeth is the same but N K Surrey
Frank is also N K Sussex, but as I have a birth certificate, this states it is Midhurst in Sussex.

Hello meefy - where were they from?

I am having an issue trying to find a marriage for this gentleman and was wondering whether anyone here can't see something I am not.

I can only find him on the 1851 census aged 37 (although its been transcribed as 27), and living with his wife Elizabeth aged 31. His two kids Frank b1846 and Charlotte c1849 are also present. James himself dies in 1860 so the trail goes cold in that direction for him.

I do have a copy of Frank's birth certificate which states his mother was an Elizabeth Strudwick formally Martin. I just cannot find a marriage between James and an Elizabeth Martin, and I know its the same Elizabeth on the census because in 1856 she gave birth to Mary Ann Strudwick and she is listed on there as formerly Martin.

Any ideas out there?
