I suspect that one or both were under the age of consent(21) and married without parental consent. William Ackroyd Lee was born September quarter 1854 in Bradford District. If you wish to get a birth certificate for him, the GRO No. is 9b 164. In 1861 RG9 3327/54 Horton. Grace Ackroyd Unmarried with 2 children Emma 12 and William 7. This could be your William and Grace's partner could be called Lee. William's birth cert. should show this. Sarah Butterfield probably also born in 1854. 1861 RG9 3405 / 76 Liversedge Henry and Matilda Butterfield with Sarah 7, John 4, Joshua 8m. Matilda died twixt 1861 and 1865. Henry remarried Johanna Tillotson Dec quarter 1865 1871 RG10 4217 Keighley Sarah (Jane) maybe because Johanna also had a daughter called Sarah. 1881 RG11 4349/71 Keighley Henry & Johanna Hope this helps, Bill Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
