Hi, thanks for replying.

Interesting find. Only problem is the couple in question divorced  in 1883  :-\

However, the couple did supposedly have a child seven years after their divorce, in 1890. So i don't really know what went on there  ??? I'm hoping the divorce record may shine some light, and see if it's plausible they got back together to have a child, though this is questionable!
