This must be the marriage ref you used... Letitia Catherine Cretney 1879 Oct-Nov-Dec Prestwich Lancashire Thomas Denton 1879 Oct-Nov-Dec Prestwich Lancashire James Simpson 1879 Oct-Nov-Dec Prestwich Lancashire Elizabeth Yates 1879 Oct-Nov-Dec Prestwich Lancashire If James Didnt marry Elizabeth, he must have married Letitia, and Thomas married Elizabeth
