I am wondering if his first wife died and he had married for a second time. Perhaps checking the relevant bmds for a deathe for Mary and a marriage to Louisa could help.

Hi Certainly looks like first wife has died, as Alice aged 1 on 1891 is 11 on 1901. Regards Gail

Marriages Dec 1888 HARRIS Mary Elizabeth MOORE John Henry Dudley 6c 115 It's possible (just) that Louisa was a nickname or something.

There is certainly not much space between children is there? Regards Gail

I can't find a death for Mary, or a marriage for Louisa. Plus their DOBs are identical.

Same here, wonder if the enumerator just made a mistake. Only way to be sure is to send for the latest child's birth certificate, but It does look like one and the same person. Regards Gail
