On William and Ann's marriage certificate, Ann is listed as a spinster. Both William and Ann signed the register with their mark. Witnesses to the marriage were Frederick Cox (probably Ann's brother) and Susan Evans, who also signed with their mark. The marriage was carried out in the Parish Church by Banns by the Rector, George Miller (could this be William's brother George?).
William then married Eliza Jackson. Eliza also had two children
