hi folks, remember me? I am in a library in Surrey, so just a quick visit.

I have Solomon Danks who had a first wife Eliza Mackay. She went to live with her brother David after 1 child Martha and a few years of marriage. He then 'shacked' up with Eliza Jones who, until recently I believed he never married. Their daughter Hagar took the name Jones Danks. In a newspaper found online by keying in his name I found that Eliza, the woman who had lived with for more than 40 yrs had stolen money from him, but still no mention of her being his wife.

This week I keyed his name into the new family search site and found his marriage to his first wife, and surprise surprise, a marriage to Eliza Jones at Coseley in 1851. Can anyone confirm this please? It says he was single Hagar was born 1854 so why the need for Jones Danks


groom's name: Solomon Danks
bride's name: Eliza Jones
marriage date: 02 Nov 1851
marriage place: Coseley, Stafford, England
groom's marital status: Single
bride's marital status: Single
indexing project (batch) number: M01383-7
system origin: England-EASy
source film number: 1470595

Many thanks to anyone who undertakes this.
