I really don't know Barbara I know he married Emma Poole in 1893 if he married again before that I don't know will look at the one you found in 1891 Looked at the image and the occupation is the same as it was in the 1881 census and the 1901 cennsus so must be the same person it is funny they lived in the same street in Edmonton as they did in Islington. mind you it is his third wife I am interested in as she was my great/grandmother and it really is the person she was married to before who was my great/grandfather.

I wonder if he was a bigamist although I have the marriage certificate for Thomas Williams and Emma Poole.

thank you Margaret


Thank you Margaret

Hello Sylvia thank you so much for the information I did look on free bmd and could not find the mattiage but it looks so though you have found the right one I had seen her death that is why I thought her name was Sophia Elizabeth.
Thank you Barbara and Syliva
