I wonder what it was about the eleventh child that caused them to marry? The death of a previous partner for one of them perhaps?

I have Australian ancestors who, on each of their childrens' birth registrations, gave a different date & place of marriage, sometimes in England and sometimes in Melbourne. I eventually found that they married in a registrars office when she was pregnant with her 11th child (even on that child's birth registration they lied about their marriage date & place!).
