I can't locate any marriage reference for them even though I have found them in the 1891 census with their 3 children. Location salford, manchester or pendleton. Also, I have located again Samuel Collinge and his 3 children (ages match the previous census) in the 1901 census but he now has an additional 2 children and a different wife called Annie. Again I can't find their marriage anywhere, or what happened to Eliza Ann Wolstenholme. Annie and Eliza Ann are not the same person as their ages don't match in the censuses. My head hurts from trying to work this one out and I can't seem to get any further. I hope fresh eyes will help me with this one. Thanks to everyone in advance.
