Marriage:
24 Jul 1904 (age 16)
Address: Hoxton, London
Louisa was the groom's sister; the other witness Thomas Dowell was the Groom's brother. Why a member of the Bride's family did not act as a witness is not known. However, it may have had something to do with the fact that Jane was pregnant (their first child was born the following October). Other members of the couple's families almost certainly attended and there may have been some form of party after the wedding at one of the parents' houses. Whether they went on a honeymoon is not known.
