I found more info. John was a widow when he married Martha, he married again to Sarah Evans, no father named for Sarah...and I can't find them in 1871? Can you Jimmy?

Re: Martha unknown abt 1820 on BCC. Jo adding
I tried all sorts...
Possible burial for possible first wife?
Burial. 5th May 1837. Holt, Denbighshire
Susannah Penk, Lavister Parish of Gresford, Age 22
So was he inbetween areas? Perhaps back in Wales 1871? I didn't look there as daughter Alice married 1875.
I will look a bit more. If not I will just put as possible on BCC as it feels right.
Got rid of an unknown Jimmy but we now have 3 more!
