During research of my ASHFORTH line I stumbled across a record of marriage of my great grand aunt Mary Jane FLOWERS to one Arthur MARSDEN.

They were married at the church of St John the Baptist, Owlerton, Sheffield; the church where my parents were married and I was christened.

Mary Jane FLOWERS is recorded as being 20 years of age and residing at 69 Capel Street, Sheffield. Arthur MARSDEN is recorded as being 28 years of age residing at the same address. The marriage took place on the 1st of January 1887 with Herbert WILD and Florence WATSON acting as witnesses.

Occupations:
Arthur FLOWERS - file cutter.
George FLOWERS - (Mary Jane's father) - file lighter.
William MARSDEN (Arthur's father) - cutler.

Note: Herbert WILD married Elizabeth FLOWERS, the sister of Mary Jane FLOWERS on the 14th of October, 1888 at the church of St John the Baptist, Owlerton, Sheffield.
