Cheesman Family Tree

[cbp]

Can someone do some look-ups for me. I have a Lily Cheesman b1900 in Luton to, I believe, a James and Catherine. I would like to know more informatiom about James and Catherine. James came from Hawkhurst, Kent and was born c1858 and Catherine from Cirencester c1856 if I have my facts right from the 1901 census for Luton. Catherine's maiden name and James' parents names would be especially helpful. Anything else would be a bonus. Lily Cheesman married William Collins, also from Luton, and if you know the date of this marriage it would be a help.

Thanks.

Carol.

if the james cheesman in the 1881 census is the right one here is his first marriage.

if it is the right one there should be a death of sarah and subsequent marriage of james to catherine.
