Edwin Wigley married Fanny Yardley in 1869 in Uttoxeter, Staffs. Jun qtr 6b 385

Edwin was born about 1846 in Uttoxeter and Fanny (Frances) was born in Linton, Derbyshire about 1849.

I have them in 1881 in Burton on Trent. They do have 2 children born in Barrow in Furness though, aged 7 and 4.

1881 is here:

This looks like the right family, and they're in Lancs, but the surname is given as Wright on the image:

:)

I just looked for all the Wigleys born in Staffs, and there weren't many :)

It's amazing what a difference a fresh pair of eyes makes - I know whenever I give up after searching for ages and post a plea for help, somebody nearly always finds my missing people instantly.
