Thank you so much for all your hard work and perseverance,I really do appreciate it.

I love the spelling of "Aider" you found on the 1881, Jan!

I've printed off your findings and will pass the details on to my colleague. She is heading for Yarmouth today to search the churchyard at St Nicholas and also to see if 96/98 Exmouth Rd is still standing.

Thank you again :-)

Have finally received the marriage cert for James Thomas Sargeant and Edith Welch.
James age 23, address S.Denes Rd. Father, James Sargeant, Jugman.
Edith age 22, address 81 George St. Father James Welch, Labourer.
Witnesses Alfred S Betts and Cecilia R Betts
Married on 14th April 1895 at the Parish Church, Gt Yarmouth

I have no idea whether the witnesses were friends, relations or people off the street but at least it confirms Edith's father was James Welch.
