Thank you for helping me Greyghost

I was wondering that about Florence having one child. Perhaps your right and fred had just marked the form wrong.

You have solved one other problem for me. I was looking for a marriage for Emily Gray and I had it down to a Mr Stork or Mr Skelton. Well you have a Emily Skelton as a witness at Fred's marriage.so that solves that one.

As for all that money Fred left Sarah. I wonder if the refreshment rooms belonged to George clark. Sarahs father and he left the shop to them..

Thank you so much Andy for all your help.I could not have done all this without you both helping me.

Fred and Sarah married 22 years (originally written by both Fred and Sarah's names - crossed through by Fred's)

The original does say 1 child born and still living by the side of Florence's name but I wonder if it's possible this was written on the wrong line and should be by her Mother's name. (only one Gray/Clark birth found). No births Gray with a mmn not showing on GRO index Doncaster RD 1908-1911
