Note on Husband: William Richard Carver

William previously married Alice Jane Godin (c1866-1930) in West Ham registration district in 188919,20

Note on Wife: Louise Potter

Louise is a bit of an enigma, cannot find a marriage to a Purkiss, but the 1901 census says she was unmarried, had they separated? She then lived with Philip Stacey having several children but they did marry until much later. More information needed
