I'm not sure I've understood your question... If your query is how it came about that Jane Morgan married Harry Stokes at Clifton. Then I would imagine that Jane was working as a domestic in Bristol and she met Harry while working there.

There was little or no work for young girls in the mining communiies, so when they left school at fourteen, many went away from the Forest to work in domestic service in the more affluent districts of London, Bristol, Cheltenham and other cities.
