[EDIT:
I shouldn't do this so late at night - this is rubbish - wrong initials - should have been looking for a JW, not a JH!]

I wondered about that 1867 birth earlier, but in view of the husband named at Margaret's burial, I now wonder if it's this man below ?????

Really need feedback from poster now

Not sure about the Eric Ferns marriage as christian name of bride does not match with Lucy

I agree, GB.

We can't find any clear evidence of Charles's birth or marriage.
Also no sign of a Margaret King's birth or marriage.

And also now doubt about Eric.

PM sent to Jean to let her know she has replies, and how to find and comment on them.
