Alfred John (sometimes Joseph, sometimes JA) b Marylebone 29/7/1850 married Annie Carroll (a Minor ) at St Marylebone 2/3/1874. I have their details up to that date then they both disappear from BMD, censuses etc. I have found a similar named couple in Meaford Ontario in 1881 although the ages don't quite match. Annie was probably b Liverpool 1856 of Irish parents. AJ 's occupation is given as Ostler.
Can anyone find any further trace of them after marriage?

Who was named as Annie's father on the marriage cert?

Thanks everyone,
Mike, father's names & trades tie up on bapt & marriage
. Margee nice find but Annie being a minor looks to be unlikely unless they upped her age to get out of the country. although the 1891 one looks about right for her. That isn't far from Meaford where there is a "possible" in 1881
