Thats ok Jen.

I cannot find a likely suspect for Martha in 1901 - that marriage is only a guess - as I thought I would check alternative spellings for Cook. There are a few Benjamin Catchpoles but I saw one in 1891 he was a widower aged 60. Perhaps she married him? His first wife was called Elizabeth Sarah. The 1881 census gives his year of birth more like 1839 and there is a death in Yarmouth for a Benjamin Catchpole in 1907 aged 71. (His is down as Catchpoole in 1881). Although by 1901 he is still a widower - so it may not be him.

But as I cannot see a Benjamin Catchpole with a wife Martha in 1901 - who knows!

Hi Alexandra

Sorry to bother you, bit confused again.
In 1871 you found Martha Cook living with William Grimmer. I found his marriage on bmd index and he married Mary A Cross who you mentioned on a previous census, but you said his mother in law was Ann Knight? Any ideas

Thanks
Jen

Well it was the information from the census - I think it may be more like 'grandmother in law'

In 1861 when you had Martha with Charles Knights - he has granddaughter Mary A Cross aged 14 and grandson Edward Knights aged 2. Charles is married - not widowed. So his wife is probably Ann who was not at home that night.
