  • Notes 
    • Age given as 21 in 1888 marriage record, which clearly names her father as Henry Halsall, but Henry's Martha (b1869 qv) is still living with him as a spinster in the 1891 census, so one of these records must be incorrect.
      Evan, a widower, is living alone in 1891. Also this Martha names two of her sons Job and Evan, after her brothers, so it is considered more likely that the fault is in the marriage record.
