John Preece b 1849 Ruardean Hill to Enos and Mercy (General)

I'm trying to find a marriage and death for John Preece born 1849 to Enos Preece and Mercy Preece (nee Parker) of Ruardean Hill.

I am pretty sure that he married around 1870 to Ann. He remarried in 1878 to Ellen Taylor (his status as widower, she as spinster) and they had at least two children Andrew Owen b 1880 and Florence Sarah b 1883. Andrew Owen Preece seems to have moved to monmouthshire and had children Percy Clarence b 1902, Sidney John b 1904, Gwlaciwynnivello PREECE b 1907 and Ernest Owen b1909

John died prior to 1891. After that Ellen Preece married Charles Cole (she was his third wife). I believe Charles Cole was previous married to John's sister Elizabeth Ann Preece 1856-1890, and before that to John's cousin Harriet Goode.

There are quite a number of John Preece's around the area at this time, so its easy to get mixed up. Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Maxine
