The above Edward and Agnes have only been married 5 years, which fits with death of Zilpah.

ADDED Nora born Crawshawbooth 1911 which clinches it I think!

So Zilpah died and Edward remarries to Agnes....

Thank you

brummiejan Report 24 Dec 2012 17:20

I think she was Agnes Taylor, as the other children are step-children to Edward.
So it seems possible that this is the marriage:

Just one more comment - be thankful Edward had the aforethought to marry a Zilpah and have a daughter born in Crawshawbooth. Must have been thinking of you trying to sort out the Jones tree! :-D
