Find Ancestors

I have a census record for Joseph Walker b in Blyth Notts 1858, married to Eliza A ? b 1857. I have been unable to find a marriage for them. They had several children ; Jane A b Adhby 1875,Ellen,Charles,henry,Elizabeth,Fanny,ruth,Joseph.
I've tried searching for Elizabeth and also as Joseph as middle name and don't seem to be getting anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Did you discount this one from freebmd ?

Thanks Michael. Not entirely sure - I had been looking at marriages before the birth of the children and the 1881 census shows joseph and Eliza as married.

More likely this one in view of the Lincolnshire census ...

still easy enough to find on freebmd

Michael this is brilliant - thank you so much. Thanks to Choccy too.

Yes, it would seem that Eliza had Jane Ann 'Humfress' in 1875 and Ellen 'Humfrees' in 1877 before the marriage to Joseph Walker in 1879. She then had Charles and all the others.

I would not have found all this without your help!
