Possible marriage for Gillian sent by PM.

It looks like she married the same year as the death of her Father.

Edit.......The following year.

Hello

A relative of mine, William Monkhouse Steel was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland in 1898.

Whilst he is on the 1911 census with his family, I cannot find a marriage or children.

Any help in finding him would be appreciated

thanks <3
