Where were they living after they married. Did they emigrate?

Richard Bagley: he was a groom in 1861, coachman 1871. Born in Shropshire 1843 (birth index says 43, a family historian says 42 to fit with a baptism record for his census stated birthplace of Sutton Maddock )

This lady married in St George's, Hanover Square, London in 2nd quarter 1871 so I have good reason to believe that she was in service in London: she was in service in a large household in Bath in 1861.

She married a man who was a coachman in a large household in the Midlands in 1871, which lends itself to the notion that he met her through his job travelling between important houses.

Kate was baptised Kitty but seems to have used Kate when she grew up. She was born in Horsington/South Cheriton, in Somerset in 1841.

I cannot find her on Ancestry in 1871; can anyone find her on another site please.

Hopefully,
Heather
