Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851/61/71 - Smith - Towcester

Samuel John West Smith married Emma Halton nee Tooms 22 Jan 1877 at Northampton Reg office. She had been living with him since at least 1866 and had her first child by him in that year. I don't know when her first husband died exactly. She had two sons by Edward Halton who had both died by 1863. It's only speculation that it was around then that the marriage failed and she took up with SJWS. She had six children with Samuel and then he left her sometime after the 1881 census and if he did marry again it was bigamously. He died in 1887 reg in Peterborough district.
They were living together in the 1871 census but there is a gap in the children's births from 1867 to 1877. Of course there could have been more who died between that time.
