Thanks again for all your time & effort Dee,
it does feel like clutching at straws doesn't it! But at least we've discounted the chap from Sand Hutton, which has stopped me chasing the wrong people.. sigh.
I probably ought to go back to the other details on Ann's marriage cert, which really is all I have to go on - father John, tailor; her address at marriage, Nether Green; witness names W H Ripley and Sarah Gill. I've looked up Nether Green on the 1851 census, but couldn't see anything that made a connection. I don't suppose the Burial Disc has addresses for the two Johns does it?
I quite like the the cloth draper in Myrtle St though - if Ann's husband was an upholsterer, he must have bought his cloth from somewhere. Might be how they met!
I'll keep on thinking; big thanks once again

despite no definite answers, its been very helpful & I feel I know Leeds a bit better now
