Thanks Graham, just when i was getting my confusion under control.
Just a quick response to "Parsoe" possibility. I agree it needs more research. However, there are criminal records for desertion and child neglect in Gloucester which seem to fit this bloke after the date of his marriage.
I wonder if a white knight came along , rescued Annie and her kids in Gloucester and took off to Wales for a new life.
Maybe the knight was the elusive William E. Tovey.
Intriguing.
