William Hambling B 1846 Dereham Norfolk England D Dec 1937 South Shields Durham England
I would like to know who he married.
I have info he married twice. Eliza Eliza Ellsworth can’t find a marriage certificate but other ancestry trees have the same entirety.
The other is Sarah Brooks. I have info on a marriage England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1837-1915 which gives William Hambling
The other problem I’m having is Children. If he married twice which had which mother? There are a few I have 5 William John 1880, Annie M Hambling 1886, Bertha 1888, Rebecca 1890 and Samuel 1893

You can find the mothers maiden names from the GRO index https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp
William John's mother was an Ellsworth. I haven't checked the others
-
Have you looked for him on the various censuses to establish his wife’s name as it will help pin down a death date for first wife & re-marriage
You can then use GRO online to “split” the children between the 2 wives

In the 1881 census he has children Samuel Ellsworth 14 born Lymington, and Florence S?orey 4 born South Shields.
Florence's surname must be Scorey. MMN Ellsworth per the GRO index.

Looks like Eliza Ellsworth married William Scorey in Lymington in 1871
-
Eliza Ellsworth married William Scorey
Yes I found that which makes it more confusing as some of the children have the mother as Eliza. I haven't subscribed to the site that some have found info. Not being funny but I have problems with types of sites and it takes me for ever unlike many on here who find the info so quick, About 10 years ago I had a mini stroke and things have never been the same.

Per freebmd - Eliza Hambling aged 35 died 1886 South Shields
Per freebmd William Hambling married Sarah Brooks 1887 South Shields
1891 - Sarah is 42 b Staffordshire - no children shown born between 1887 - 1891
-
1901 there is a son Samuel Hambling b 1893
GRO online shows mmn Denley which suggests Sarah was previously married
Freebmd has an 1867 marriage - Sarah Agnes Denley / George John Brooks

Thank you all for your help.

A falling out with Sarah in 1900? https://www.findmypast.co.uk/image-share/3cda38d8-6f27-4a95-8a4c-b551f54d5ac4

She must have seen the error of her ways as they are together in 1901 & 1911 😂😂
