Have you checked deaths?

Or emigration?

Have you searched using just forenames and birth info?

I wonder if you have them 1901? Did wonder about a re-marriage, though a bit out of area

So the 1894 death wasn't his...............perhaps Eliza simply re-married.

The re-marriage (if it WAS her) was certainly out of area, which could be significant

Nice one, Flip, and also explains why his wife was with in-laws in 1891

I wonder why Mark didn't see that record.......he says he checked emigration
