4 March 1859

Marriages At South Church 28th ult Mr Hugh Clements to Mrs Rachel Madgin, both of Gurney Villa.

This birth answers a lot of questions. He's still alive in 1911/1921 but cannot find him from 1856 until 1911!!--that's 5 census

It may also suggest ,S.S, that the 1857 article I posted does refer to the Hugh and Jane being looked at. The address on this birth cert is Trimdon. The assault  case was at Castle Eden Sessions which appear to have dealt with cases from Trimdon.

If indeed this is correct it would narrow down the time period to look for Jane's death.

William

[softly softly]

Millmoor, my own belief is Jane did not die between 1857-1859 but set up home with a n other or remarried.

I should have added that she may have abandoned him!
