On behalf of someone else - any help welcome.

I have a marriage entry for CALEB ALBERT STAPLES, June Q, 1905, Croyden.

As there are 2 females listed on the same page, how can I find which one he married?

The female names are:

SUSAN KATE SUCKLING

and

JANE THORNHILL.

Caleb was married again by 1916, but I can't find a death for either Susan or Jane.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I tried that....without success.

The only way is to purchase the cert...........or wait for 1911 census.
