Is shown marrying Ebenezer Oakley
Freereg marriage 5/2/1872 St. Luke Bilston Staffs.
Ebenezer Oakley 25 Bach. Dealer father George Oakley Roller
Elizabeth Bloomer 28 Sp. Cradley father Benj.? Bloomer Smith
Witnesses Elijah Oakley & Mary Ann Baker
But father is shown as Benj.? Bloomer and I cannot find a Benjamin Bloomer who is a Smith with daughter Elizabeth

Could it be Boaz Bloomer?

Possible Boaz but he was a Vice Maker not a Smith

Cradley Heath would tie up with Boaz

I couldn't see Elizabeth 1891, children were with eldest sister Elizabeth married as Bloomer...I couldn't see a marriage though?
The marriage says Smith...I thought one could work anvil or vice? As it doesn't say what sort of Smith?
Also I had not looked for Elizabeth in 1861.

From https://rmhh.co.uk/occup/u-v.html#V

Viceman A smith who works at the vice instead of the anvil

Just having a quick look, seems like extended family married into family?

Is this marriage you cannot find as I tried to find Edward Bloomer marrying Elizabeth Oakley also

Yep that marriage?

Strange cannot find marriage or Edward and Elizabeth Bloomer after 1891
Found an Elizabeth Bloomer died aged 28 Stourbridge 1900 which is right age but no Edward Bloomer
