Many thanks Maureen,the couple also had a daughter Violet born in 1904 who was in Wales staying with another of my relatives in 1911.I'm wondering who the "Witterkers" were?

At a guess:
Marriages Sep 1908 (>99%)
BEARDMORE Annie Stoke T. 6b 351
WHITTAKER John Stoke T. 6b 351

That's odd about the daughter Violet. The Beardmores say they've only had 3 children!

I've looked up the thread where Violet Beardmore was given in 1911.

Esther Elizabeth Thomas was the daughter of a William Thomas and a Mary Durber.After William's death Mary remarried to a Ralph Mayer in 1898.In 1911 Ralph and Mary Mayer are lliving in Flintshire North Wales.Also in their household are Joseph Durber their nephew(my Grandfather) and a Violet Beardmore given as born in Hanley given as their Grandaughter.

Yes,I see Violet in 1911. Just one of those mistakes on the Beardmore's part,I guess. I can't see who else's daughter she could possibly be!

Thanks Maureen,yes Violet must be Josiah and Esther's daughter as there is no other Beardmore/Thomas marriage anywhere or a Beardmore/Mayer marriage.
