There's a marriage for Alice Louisa HART june quarter of 1895 at Ipswich.

Possible grooms Percy George HAMBY or Edward William J WOOD(S)

both has name as Hart -but Lucy is single and Louisa married -there is a grandson with the family too -possibly Lucy's child???

also Pomponia Watson b.c.1894 Suffolk lived with them and became a "Ward" of Alice Louisa's mother

this looks like birth reg of father

There is something strange about Edward William J Woods

He appears on census until after he married Alice louisa

Alice Louisa is on 1901 census as "Hart" and married
She appears in 1911 as Woods and married
No sign of Edward William J Woods
I think he had been married previously and had 2 daughters who were with grandparents in 1901
No sign of Edward William J Woods after 1891 -no death reg found

Edit Think he is on 1911 described as Widower!!!!!
