Geoff,
Their information was too sketchy. Only the names & birthplace. No information at all about marriages etc.

I guess I'm coming to a bit of a dead end !!!

Mind you I am still of the mind that there was two marriages which is more than I had when I last looked at this branch of my tree. It would just be nice to fill in these missing gaps.

Mind you I still don't believe that two people from North Lincolnshire would go down to Grantham to get married. Then all the children were born back in North Lincs. Doesn't;t make sense

Geoff,
I am also sceptical of the Grantham marriage. I also don't believe it is right. My family are from Louth which is only 20 miles or so from Swallow. Grantham is too far away.

Perhaps there aren't two wives. On the 1891 census Emma was the wife & in 1901 Jane was the wife. It just so happens that three children appear in 1891.
Born in 1888,1889 & 1890. Then there is a six year gap until 1896 & 1900 ish. My Great Grandmother was the 1896 girl.

I must admit I presumed Emma had died but I may be wrong.

I am revisitng this link after many months of time away from it & for some reason or another I actually have Jane as Jane Stephenson This may be wrong now I look at it again.

Does this help at all

Thanks

Ian

Hello,

My GG Grandfather William Hodson born in Swallow around 1862 ish. Well I think he married a couple of times but cannot locate any marriage records or death records for his first wife First wife was Emma & second was Jane. Can anyone help with marriage dates & maiden names etc

Thanks a lot

Ian

Sounds too much of a coincidence not to be her. Maybe she lied about her age due to being so young when she had her first child ? Do you know more about her father and where they resided in the 1901 census
