      Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jun 2019)

      (I had date as 25 Aug from FamilySearch, but this it is now clear this was the first reading of the banns)
    Separated Bef 1881 
    • William and Isabell were living separately at the time of the 1881 census (3/4 April) and not found together in subsequent censuses.
      They appear to have separated between 1871 and 1881, probably by 1875 when Isabel seems to have had a son whose father was not William.
