Oh dear! One side of my family I cant find marriages for hardly any of them!

The 1901 Census shows Thomas J Speechley (b circa 1898 Yaxley) Married to a Clara (b circa 1870 Rutland), but i cant find a marriage record for it!
I also believe that Clara remarried a Walker at some point but I dont know when.

Any help please?

1901.
Thomas J Speechley 33
Clara Speechley 32
Annie E Wacker 12. Step dau. looks like Walker on image.
Ellen L Speechley 9
Wilhelmina Speechley 7
Ethel M Speechley 5
George W Speechley 1
Mary E Speechley 3 months
William Margisson 20


1891.
Thos J Speechley 23.
Clara Speechley 21.
Annie E Speechley 2.
Martha Ingall 19.
George W Ingall 1.

Seems like the image has been a problem to read.
This looks like it was Clara Walker, Sep quarter 1889
Thomas has ? on his, Stamford, 7a [56]13
and Claras is, Stamford, 7a 543

1911 census has,

Hmm if Clara had married a Walker and had the step child Annie before marrying Thomas J, would her surname on the second marriage show her maiden name or her first marriage surname?

Can we assume Walker is her maiden name or the name of the father of Annie?

It looks like the number on the image could be, 543.

Marriages Sep 1889.
Walker Clara. Stamford. 7a. 543.

You would tell because her fathers name would be there and it would have either spinster or widow.
Seems a bit close to be a widow I would have thought if Annies birth is right in 1891?

possible 1881??
Rutland
William Christian, head, 68, Ag lab
Martha, wife, 64,
Sherwin Walker, grand son, 15, Ag Lab
Clara Walker, grand daur, 11
Martha Walker, grand daur, 9,
Herbert Dawson, grandson, 12
All born Essendine

1871. Rutland.
George Walker 30.
Harrabella Walker 26.
Sherwin Walker 5.
Clara Walker 1. born: Essendine, Rutland.

Marriages Mar 1862.
Chrishan Arabella, Stamford. 7a. 391.
Walker George, Stamford. 7a. 391.

Hmm any chance Arrabella's Surname could be Christian and not Chrishan? That would fit with the grandparents on the census of 1881?

On the image it could be Christian quite easy.

yep - looks like it def is!

The 1851 census shows a match on parents, birth years and places, so think thats it!

can be archived!
