hi,
due to some technical errors earlier this year and managing to delete a person that linked a large part of tree, due to these issues i have made a new tree (and in a way i'm glad as found few interesting bits i hadnt noticed before - 1 ancestor and wife as landlord/lady of the village pub for 1.)
anyway, whilst adding info about my 2nd great grandfather James Henry Mitchell, 1854 Bradford uk, and his wife Clara Richardson, 1857 Bradford uk i noticed on their marriage cert (1876) he is listed as widower.
i'm now intrigued to find out who his 1st wife was. on the 1871 census he is still living with parents and unmarried. so this gives me a 5year window before he married clara. other people that have him in tree also only have clara as wife. i have looked on freebmd and as you can guess with name and location there are loads.
any ideas please to narrow it down and possibly find wife 1?
