'Margate' there was born in Harlech just up from where i used to live :)

hmmm well there are no obvious marriages in Shropshire

I wonder about this one?

Marriages Mar 1879 (>99%)


EDWARDS Margaret Liverpool 8b 37

WELLINGS Henry Liverpool 8b 37

This looks like the birth for Henry

Births Sep 1855 (>99%)


Wellings Henry Atcham 6a 532

This looks like the birth of the youngest child on the 1881 census. The certificate would give you her mother's name:-
