Does anyone have information, particularly details of their children?  They married in 1879, in Bradford and I can find nothing at all about them. All help gratefully received.

On the 1881 image Louisa's age is written as 31, so either that was incorrect or she has knocked a few years off in 1891.

Hi,
Just for information 'Stuff' was a coarse cloth, mainly worsted, made of long combing wool which didn't have any nap or pile.

Thank you for all this crisane - it gives me something to start with.  VERY much appreciated

Thanks Ian

I grew up in Bradford and worked at Lister's Mill, so these terms are familiar to me.   An old joke says the Three Graces were called Stuff, Shoddy and Mungo
