 Hi Lisa,

You have a very tricky one here.  I have spent a lot of time trawling through but still haven't managed to find a marriage for Anna Marie and Henry Phillips.

I have found a little more info that may add to what you  have already.

1871 census.  Sarah Jane Huxtable a nurse, born Somerton living in East Retford district, Nottingham.

1871 census.  Hannah Huxtable a domestic servant born Somerton living in Chorlton on Medlock, Manchester.  Perhaps this is where she met Henry.

The 1911 census shows (*), so that would put her marriage during last 3 quarters of 1880 or the first quarter of 1881.

There are two possibilites, 1) they did not marry at this point, or at all, 2) she was married before and married Henry under a different surname.

Would it help to get another child's birth certificate as it might throw a new angle on the matter.

Best of luck with it anyway.

Elizabeth

Liz I really appreciate all the time and effort that you have put in. I am beginning to think that Henry and Marie were not married, and yes - the thought of getting the birth certificate of another sibling is something that I have been considering - looks like that is going to have to be the way to go.
