Where did you find the wife's first name? Was it on a census?

When you find a record on freebmd....just click on the page number to bring up all the names on the page...........

Look for him on the FREE 1881 census..............his wife's first name will be recorded on there.........

No... don't think it can be the right one then I do now that he married an Esther or Ester, around that time.
Thanks anyway... was sure that was going to be the one ;o(
