I am looking for help in finding ancestors for brothers John & James Priestman of Yorkshire born c. 1864 in Hull. I know James married Minnie Weatherall & John married Lydia Hunt. Any assistance is welcome.

Do you have marriage certificates for John and James to see who their father is?

According to the original census I think it should be John Stringer Priestman.

There is a marriage on FreeBMD but there must be another spouse missing. It is the same on FindMyPast too??
