I got back to me researcher whom I thrust completely. He rechecked his records and confirmed his findings were that they were married in 1901 according to the church records. The first child born to this couple was in 1907. >> Interesting! What was the religion? I ask because, is it possible they were married a "second" time after one of them converted? Or is the names are common, are you ABSOLUTELY sure it is the same couple and not someone else with the same names (cousins, even)? How do you know they were the same couple? [OR--and this is a stretch---could the 1 of "1901" really be a 7? OK, the entry would not be on a 1901 page in a church record book if it hadn't occurred yet....., but maybe if the church book was a transcription, someone made a mistake? You should check the 1901 census--hopefully the 1901 date is before the census was taken... were they livng at home or as wife & husband? Let us know! Janet C-S
