Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jun 2019)
Married 'after certificate'
John signed, Caroline made her mark; witnesses (both signed) were George Goatham (Caroline's father or brother?) and her sister Susan Dean
The 1900 census shows that Caroline was the mother of 4 children of whom one had died. Richard and Fannie were clearly still alive (as in later censuses) so it must be either Charles or John who had died by 1900.
