I'll see if I can find the article again, Rosie, and find out the name of the relative who was living with her - it  could be a  lead.

Her niece's  name was  Mrs Brooks, a widow, who had lived with Emma Jane for 3 years. Might be worth following her backwards. I'm away for a few hours now so won't have time to look.

Hi Gadget like you I was wondering if this was her second marriage as going by the later census she said she had been married 35years ...So that would make her about 37 years and a marriage in 1876 ?

Or did she mean she had been married 35 years and widowed for 10 years, marriage 1866.

Was he a railway porter in 1871, if so he most likely worked for the midland railway, some records are on A, may say where he joined.

Agree it doesn't look like the correct marriage, back to square one,
I think he is the right William, the birthplace is very definite, but is she EmmaJane?.

She is six years older than him, never seen any children for them, and says she was born in Gloucestershire,
But bridstw/ Wilton is very close to the border with Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean.
