In 1871 I think John Bull senior was living with a Matilda bull in Bedworth.. So I think Agnes was a second marriage but I haven't quite drunk my tea yet!

Yes I had found that same family and thought they were related to Mary Jane.. Didn't link the addresses though.. Been a long day! On someone's tree on ancestry and I haven' t varified it yet.. But they said that agne's maiden name was smith before she married John bull... Could that be the smith / bull crossover..

Interestingly enough, this family is next door to John Smith in 1901. I think this may be Mary Jane's family.
