A David Henry King married Susannah COOPER March Q 1872 - Ipswich 4a 806

Suey

Many thanks to you as well Suey...it really is amazing how quick and helpful people are on this here interweb... :)

You'll forgive me if I don't yet quite get the relevance of the letters and numbers at the end...I presume they were married IN Ipswich, or is that just a larger district of which Ipswich is the centre?

Although...if the 1871 census gives her name as Susannah King, then presumably she wouldn't have been Susannah Cooper in 1872?

Ah, I see...thanks Suey...

Can you throw any light on the apparent mystery in the dates

Susannah KING is listed in the 1871 census, and then in 1872, Susannah COOPER marries David King...was it normal for women to take their man's name even before they were married?

Not unusual, I have a lady living with and using her future husbands surname 4 years before the marriage  ::).

However, I wonder if I've misled you, it looks likely :(...this could  be your David King
June Q 1866 Mutford RD 4a 1100 - David King and on same page Susannah BAKER.  Mutford Registration District includes Lowestoft where the Kings were living.
