Find Ancestors

Has anyone any suggestions as to how I might find out what became of John Trickett b 1845 Coventry,Warks son of James Trickett and Mary Ann(nee Birkin).
He is last heard of in 1873 in Nottingham when entered on daughter Maria's birth certificate.
By 1881 his wife-also called Maria(Daykin) is supposedly remarried to a William Housley although I can find no trace of a marriage!
Family story is John abandoned the wife & child and went to S Africa.
Any ideas?

1871 for reference.

Yes. Maria Daykin b 1853 married John Trickett in Nottingham in 1870. She was with William Housley until her death in 1899 and there were several children from the 'marriage'. The Maria Trickett b 1873 was living with her maternal grandmother in 1881 (as Maria Thickett) and as a boarder in a household in Long EAton Derbyshire in 1891. She married George Berresford in 1898.

Her daughter Irene Berresford knew several of the Housley children as Aunts and Uncles.

Gill,

Thanks for that but its not the right family. John was born in Coventry and they had daughter Maria in 1873

So is this Maria in 1891 with "husband" and their children?
