Thank you both very much for your help, Marie never new he went to London his nieces Violet ad Edith don't know who the are.

Reggie i will do that. Thank you both very much for your help.


Jean

He moved about a bit no wonder i couldn't find him.


Jean

Jean they aren't his nieces - they're his daughters. The relationship for the two girls is to the head of the household. Please read carefully what is posted - the 1911 says he is a widower and I've already given the duration of his marriage and how many children he'd fathered.

Seeing as he's brother-in-law to Arthur Facey then that certainly gives you a clue as to the surname of his wife you can now have a go at finding his marriage and his wife's death.

It's not unusual for people who work on the railways to move around the country.

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 about Arthur John Facey
Name: Arthur John Facey
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Age: 32
Spouse Name: Louisa Jane Adamthwaite
Spouse Age: 31
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 20 Dec 1903
Parish: Willesden St Mary
Borough: Brent
Father Name: William Facey
Spouse Father Name: Henry Adamthwaite
Register Type: Parish Register

I'm now puzzled - I'd seen the marriage Thelma posted for Arthur & Louisa Jane so assumed that William Henry Renshaw was brother-in-law to Arthur John Facey by way of marrying Arthur John's sister.

That 1895 marriage to Hannah Wright looks a good contender so how does the brother-in-law relationship work? Is it the alternate term for step brother in this case?

This 1881 for a Hannah Wright certainly fits the birthplace for Hannah Renshaw on the 1901:

WRIGHT, Thomas Head Married M 45 1836 Plate Layer On Railway Anshford, Shropshire
WRIGHT, Ann Wife Married F 42 1839 Ludlow, Shropshire
WRIGHT, Hannah Daughter Single F 10 1871 Scholar Horderley, Shropshire
