Many thanks. Yes I do have the second marriage and quite a bit about them but I am stuck on William James Wale before or after the marriage in 1873.

Could Charlotte and James Edwards have been together in 1881, maybe they didn't marry until 1888 because that's when William James/James Wale died!

William James Wale's father was William James Wale an Upholsterer.
Witnesses were William Harry Payton Kate Henery Saunders
Some of the c/d were named Wale at birth and seems they changed to Edwards later.

Hi,
This gets a little more confusing. Charlotte Payton married William James Wale 1873 & then James Edwards in 1888. She was also living with James Edwards in 1881. Surely she wouldn't have married Aaron Agent in 1880. I think it must be a different Charlotte Payton.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Will keep it in mind.

I do have Charlotte's Mother as Charlotte Collins b 1822 Chidham Sussex.
Married to William H Payton Nov 1866 London.
He was previously married to Anne Rowe b 1822 England.
Married 1843 Hampshire.
William H Payton died 1879 so maybe Charlotte married again.
Quite a puzzle.
Thanks for your interest.

Only have James Edwards on 1881 Census Living with Charlotte C Wale nee Payton and c/d in Croydon Surrey. Have him at marriage to Charlotte 1888 in Croydon Surrey. He is 35 and a Labourer. Have him again in 1891 on death aged 38. He died of a fall in Jan. His dad was John and John was deceased at marriage 1888. Don't know anything more of John. James thought he was b in Croydon but no one can find him.
Any idea how I can find either of these two men?
Regards

Perhaps the John Edwards witness on Aaron Agent first Marriage could relate?...
