That looks good Jimmy!

I couldnt see that on bmsgh.

the 1854 to Sarah Stanley is not an engineer he is a miner so we can discount that one.

and 1852 to Harriet Mills is a miner so can discount that one.

I am adding in that one you found Jimmy to Bcc as a possible

is there a death for her?

note father for Joseph on census is a miner...not an engineer ...so might not be correct marriage....what do we think?
