Thanks Margaret sorry I havent been back on for a couple of days.
It certainly took him a long time to get round to marrying her.
She certainly wasn't living with him anymore and was lodging somewhere else - she then married her landlord. She was a rare old bird lol
Thanks again
Chris

Fanny and John married sept qt 1869 Strand gro ref 1b 890
Youngest daughter Alice Pike Cable 1869 sept qt Lambeth gro ref 1d 277.
Perhaps Fanny put the hard word on him to make an honest woman of her after Alice was born

John Pike born about 1811 died 1885 mar qt St Saviour Southwark gro ref vol 1d page 7.

Wonder if Fanny was with him when he died. She wasnt with him in 1881. Perhaps they split up

Thanks Rose I agree with you it could be Scales Maker.

Margaret
Thank you so much for all your details - you really have helped.
I have just managed to find the marriage - they did marry in 1869. A bit late lol
Thanks again

If he was a smith in 1841 meaning a blacksmith then he could have been making scales and bedheads from iron

Knowing what he was in 1861, it could be scale maker.
