Hi groom/avm228
Thanks for your considerable help. Odd that none of us could find a marriage, as the 1911 Census said that they had been married for 25 years, but maybe this was a lie. I looked for Horncliff(e) Durham, but I think that it must be the one in Northumberland. I am surprised that Walter, being a Policeman, should finish up a long way from the NE in the workhouse! Apologies for the birthdate error. Just noticed avm228 that you have now found a marriage, but why would they say 25 years instead of 10/11? The Census also said that there were two children.

They would say they had been married 25 years because they had a 24 yr old daughter!  Needed to look respectable. This happens more often that you might think.

Can't see a trace of another child, but it may be that they were including e.g. a stillborn child which at that time would not have been registered.

Obviously to cover up the fact that they weren't married when their eldest child was born.  ;D ;D  Not unusual.

My ancestors were from Horncliffe.

This may clear up the confusion about Durham/Northumberland.

Hello! I was just wandering if this couple were still of interest as they appear in my husbands family tree and I have been researching them recently, infact I wish I seen these posts before I started researching them! However I think that Emma Isabella or Isabella as she is sometimes known, might have married both James Rixon and his brother and had a son also so there may be more to the marriage that was posted on this thread..
