Hi Jan, Thanks, somehow I hadn't seen that one, but after hours of census searching I can eliminate him from my enquiries, his wife had been Ann, born in Somerset, according to the 1861. There are other unconfirmed possibilities for Mary Ann, usually Thurgood, who is the one I'm interested in, including the workhouse in Saffron Walden in 1861, place of birth unknown. She is likely to be the one who died as Thurgood, in Saffron Walden in 1869. Probably not much use to buy the certificate, as if they didn't know her birthplace when she was alive, they presumably didn't when she was dead. Thank you to all who contributed answers to my questions.

Dear Jan, I suppose Ann couldn't have been his second wife?
