I don't have a marriage certificate, I may try and order one.

Doesn't it say though that Ellen was a widow, and therefore we should be seeking a death certificate?

According to Ancestry they married:

1st quarter 1881

Names present:

Edwin Taye
William Underhill
Ellen Walford
Betsy Wright

I'll do a search for Edwin Taye.

Ok I realise that William Underhill and Betsy Wright were not witnesses, but on the same record sheet.

Births Jun 1860
TOY Edwin Stourbridge 6c 167

and the w'ton one

Births Dec 1861

Deaths Mar 1937

so that could be the 1911 one who dies

Ok, let me catch up.

We are now thinking Edwin who married Florence is my Edwin who was married to Ellen? Why do we think they were married in Cornwall? Which by the way has quite a few Toye's living down there.

What do those 3 names mean at the bottom?

The Wife and Other people eligible to Vote at the address

he was married to an Ellen. No way he would name his kid Ellen, and it can't be his ex-wife. This guy's a right bad apple in my family.
