Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 259 Send Message	Mary Martin update-- I now have the Marriage Certificate Married on 6th April 1889 entry No 125 William Fox age 65 Widower Blacksmith Mary Martin age 36 - the condition and profession are both blank. In a margin on the right hand side is written the following. In entry No 125 after the Woman' s name head "Widow" corrected on the 15th January 1980, by me Charles Lee Cartwright registrar in the presence of R Jones superintendent registrar Can anyone make any sense of this as I bought the cert to try and find out if she was divorced as at this time it was very rare. even more confused now

The William Fox death is correct. think I will buy the marriage cert for her marriage to William and see if she is a widow no firm fact but might be interesting. On my Grandfather's birth cert it say's mother late Fox , previously Martin, formally Phillips. Which brings me to thinking she may have divorced Ellis.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,361 Send Message	A tree on ancestry has a marriage for Ellis Martin and Eliza Davies in Ellesmere Port, April 1874. It is not substantiated. He married Mary in 1874 so this tree seems to be wildly inaccurate. I can't find a marriage for them.

Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 259 Send Message	wonderful safc, I need to digest all this now. One part I don't understand is she re-married a William Fox in 1889. Is this bigamy or divorce as I believe Divorce was very uncommon at this time
