Hi Robert There is an error in the FMP entry for Emma Churcher, one of the two possible alternative brides for Thomas Fowler. You can check this by comparing the transcription with the image. The image is page 1066 but this has been transcribed as 1056. All of the indexes match the husbands and wives up by using the reference numbers, but these have to be correct for it to work. So, FreeBMD is correct, Thomas Fowler could have married either Minnie Francis or Emma Churcher. Looking for Robert in the census after 1888 ought to resolve which it is.
