Where have you already looked ? you think they married between 1867/1874 - have you found them on the 1871 census ?...married or single ? *update...answered my own question as I think I've just found him in 1871 and single (Willetts) **

Thanks to everyone for their input, which confirms the gen. already accumulated. I opted for a date of 1870/74 because of a 5 year gap between the births of Hannah and Michael. The Haile/Richardson is the maiden surname of the mother of those children born after 1874. But still no sign of the wedding!!!!!! Could they have 'Jumped the brush'? Mick

Thanks to all for your help. Found in NE BMD, as Williss. That name has more variations than any other in my tree. Mick.
