Hello Fiona The marriage of William Chandler to Ellen Henson was registered at Worthing, Sussex, England in the December quarter of 1863 (Volume 2b Page 579). With that information, you can obtain a copy of the marriage certificate for about US$15 - it should show their addresses, occupations, and the names and occupations of the fathers of the bride and groom, as well as the names of the witnesses. Let me know if you need help with this - email me direct on dchandler@sunwave.net In the 1881 Census of England, William and Ellen are living at Wick Street, Leominster, Sussex. The occupants of the household in 1881, their age, birthplace and occupations, were: William CHANDLER Head M Male 39 Worthing, Sussex, England Painter Ellen CHANDLER Wife M Female 38 Milbourne, Dorset, England Ernest CHANDLER Son U Male 16 Kingston, Sussex, England Domestic Servant Percival CHANDLER Son Male 14 Hampton Wick, Middlesex, England Grocer's Apprentice Edith Ellen CHANDLER Daur Female 12 Worthing, Sussex, England Scholar Caroline CHANDLER Daur Female 11 Worthing, Sussex, England Scholar Bertha CHANDLER Daur Female 9 Littlehampton, Sussex, England Scholar Louisa CHANDLER Daur Female 7 Littlehampton, Sussex, England Scholar Leon CHANDLER Son Male 5 Littlehampton, Sussex, England Scholar Best wishes for now Dick Chandler in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada --- Outgoing mail is checked by AVG anti-virus software.
