Could this be the family in 1901? There are more children than you mention.

John is a miner (Stone); Lilly is Cotton something (very difficult to read)

Address is 9 Lea Street, Failsworth. Does this tie up with Lilly's address on the wedding cert?

Let me know if you think this is the family and I will try to go further back

Going off line soon but will be back on tomorrow

Could someone please trace John Evans, born c1850- possible locations, G. Manchester, Derbyshire or Doncaster! (I know these are random, but on my grandad's info).

My grandad also believes his wife's maiden name was Turner.

Their children were Harold c1870, Robert c1872, Martha c1876, Eliza c1880 and Lillian 1884.
The only concrete information I have is that of his daughter, Lillian. I know that she was married in Failsworth, Manchester in 1902. John's occupation on the marriage license is given as 'Collier'.

Thanks!
Ben
