Hi Celia,
Did you get my reply to your info? Iwas wondering if I had sent it to the wrong person. Just in case your search proved to be a success as the 3rd entry proved to be what I am looking for.Info just in from my sister in Aussie says he joined the Quaker movement around this time so perhaps this is why I am having trouble finding his marriagf to Kate. This wedding must be between 1906 and 1939. If you can help I will be very grateful.
              Kind Regards Jim C.

Hi Jim ,yes got your reply,glad it was of some help.
 I can't help any more at the moment  as I don't have access to any info' any later than the first few years of the 1900's. I 'll have a look to see if I can find anything  when I next visit my family history centre! maybe someone else may come up with something in the meantime. regards ,Celia.

Stop Press new info just discovered in old forgotten papers. Clara Bailey could possibly be given names and surname Cox.
 Kate died 17/09/1951 aged 78 Cremated 2nd October at Perry Barr crematorium.
Hope this info proves useful, I am still struggling.
