Looking at 1891 - it would appear that this is a second marriage for Edward (Sarah is too young at 23 to have a 14 year old son)

This therefore is his marriage to Sarah ????? :

Marriages Jun 1890

>>>>Gibbs Edward Alfred Oldham 8d 1061
NEDDERMAN Walter Oldham 8d 1061
Pritchard Mary Jane Oldham 8d 1061
>>>>WILLIAMS Sarah Jane Oldham 8d 1061

Although perhaps this marriage is a 'red herring' as all the children are registered as mmn Williams ?? -

Can't find an earlier one though so perhaps he wasn't free to marry her until then?

A bit of a mystery here methinks!

Yes - I agree Tracy - it is rather confusing - we need some more input from Shirley.
