<title>William Yemm Church (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for looking.</p>
<p>John Church was sentenced to 3 months hard labour as he pleaaded guilty for Bigamy, according local newspapers of the time.</p>
<p>Managed to find 1881 census of William in Silver street, Abenhal, occupation is wheelwright.</p>
<p>William served in South Africa from 1899 to 1902. Found a 1921 Census of him living at Tower Hill, Stroud. Says born Cinderford &amp; unemployed Wheelwright. There's a Kathleen Church also married, belive to be William's wife and census says she's from Wrexham, West Wales. So am 50/50 on this.</p>
<p>Still looking for their marriage record and William's death record etc.</p>
