Hi Elaine - thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have the marriage certificate for Samuel Bray and Sarah A Moxon. It lists them as being "full age" and Sarah's father as Jacob Moxon, a coal miner. In the census it appears that her date of birth would be about 1866 and Samuel Bray's about 1870. Also from census records I think Jacob would have been born about 1836 and his wife Mary Ann in about 1840. As I said in my email I have been able to find Jacob and co in some census though not all but have no idea who MaryAnn - his wife- was. There are many Sarah Moxon births in Free BMD but only one in 1866 in Huddersfield and there are no marriages for Jacob Moxon in the right time frame. So I am a bit stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
