Missing marriage of Mary Bown and William McGhee

[Pheno]

I'm all out of name variations for both of the above so wondered if someone else could spot this marriage.  I would expect it to be 1885-1890 probably in Dorset, but could possibly be Hampshire.

They are in the 1901 census with 3 McGhee children viz. William John b. 1890, Daisy 1892 & Charles 1893 all born Portsmouth.

Thanks, Pheno

I should have extended the year I was looking at.

Possibly never married - does the 1911 give number of years married? **

What occupation did William have in case they married not in England?

** Mary is a widow but puts 22 years married - when did William pass away?

There is a death for a 57 year old William McGhee in Portsmouth Jun 1910 which I assume is him.

In 1891 he is stated as Royal Navy retired and born Ireland.

Try and get his Royal Navy Records.

Baptism of son William John 8 December 1889  he is listed as a Quarter Master.
1891 census states Royal Navy Retired
1901 Census states Seaman Navy Reserve.

Ok thanks will go down that route.

I know they might not have married but both their names are so easily misspelt or mistranscribed that I feel it must be there somewhere.

If they married on the Navy base with a Chaplain he may not have forwarded the information to the local registry.
