Im not too sure about this couple and would appreciate your help and opinions before sending for the birth certificate of one of the children

William Bullman b 1847 Bolton, Lancs. Lived in Sheffield, Yorks

Wife is listed as Hannah b 1847 Worksop, Notts. Lived in Sheffield, Yorks

I cannot find a marriage, which according to the 1911 census should have taken place about 1873

On the 1891 census, the couple have a visitor, Emily Hodgkinson. I am wondering if this is Hannah' sister (although there is 20 years age difference) or some other kind of relative?

I then found this marriage:


Marriages Jun 1912
-------------------------------------------------------------

BULLMAN William Hodgkinson Rotherham 9c 1228 <<<<
HODGKINSON Hannah Bullman Rotherham 9c 1228 <<<<
Smedley Agnes M Smith Rotherham 9c 1228
Smith John H Smedley Rotherham



Not a Sheffield marriage but Rotherham is very close. I am wondering if the couple married a tad late! They both die in the 1920's, Sheffield

I cant see a William Bullman on the 1911 census in Rotherham



Thanks in advance


Edit: I cant see any births for the above couple after the 1912 marriage

Choccy, thats interesting, I wonder if Emily was Hannah' daughter?

Just had a look for deaths of a William Bullman after 1912 to 1960, cant see any at the moment

I will have another root around before sending for a birth certificate

Thanks Andy & Margee

Maybe he was married to someone else, left his wife to live with Hannah, and then went on to marry her when he was free to do so?

I'm OK for info about Mary A E Bullman but need help please with Henry Simpson

Any help most welcome - thank you
