(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.
