Chris,

Yes, this certainly does need some investigation! I will have to take
a long look at much of this - I would like to get it before the
wedding, but I'm not sure! Sorry to hear your Rugby team lost; I'm in the US
and our football team didn't make the playoffs this year, but our
archrivals did and won the first playoff game tonight. Oh, I know how you
feel!

One question that comes to mind right now is to go back and look at the
census information - that shows Edward & Elizabeth in 1861. Edward and BETSY (Elizabeth) were married in 1867 - I have that certificate and have confirmed this is the correct marriage of my 2nd great grandparents. If this is true, then if the Edward is the correct Edward in 1861, then either he had a previous wife Elizabeth or they were living together (would that be tolerated at that time?). Was Edward a "collector" of wives? I just don't know!

If there wasn't a challenge, I guess it wouldn't be genealogy!

Thanks for your posts and information - I'll keep digging as well until
we can come up with some conclusive evidence one way or another!!!
