Frances Report 22 Mar 2013 15:48

A while ago I was given :-

Name: Henry Field, a dyer, of 15 George Street
Birth Year: abt 1870
Age: 24
Marriage or Bann Date: 12 May 1894
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Father's Name: Martin Field - Iron Dresser
Spouse's Name: Mary Jennings (23) a weaver of 44 George Street
Spouse's Father's Name: James Jennings (deceased) Stonemason

Now I have checked for Mary being born in Bradford 1871 but there are several potential births. However, as her father's name from her marriage is James, does this allow anyone to find her when she was 10, in 1881, and her father still alive?

Many thanks,
Frances

Oh dear, oh dear, looks like James Jennings fell off Bradford cathedral and left Alice with possibly three young children and no income?
Thank you for finding them Maddie and Helen for finding the family in 1871
