Edward Hughes 1870 - 1921 and Ada Swales 1874 - 1951 according to 1911 census had been married 6 years. In 1908 they had a daughter Ellen born 6 August 1908 @ 2 Albert Road Hunslet and registered in Leeds.
I cannot find a marriage for this couple. I believe Edward was RC. His burial and the baptism and burial of later children are on this site. I believe they moved to Sheffield between 1908 and 1910. Ellen and the 2 younger children are registered on the GRO Hughes mmn Swales but the second child is registered as Swales no mmn recorded
I seem to have hit a brick wall possibly a concrete wall. Perhaps there is no marriage at all.
Before I throw in the towel and admit defeat have I missed something?
There's an Annie zelizabeth Swales born Leeds 1894 mother's maiden name Wardman. I notice on the 1911 census written on the side it says Annie Elizabeth daughter to Adas first husband! More trails to follow!
Yes I have that thank you. However I have a baptism record for her as the illegitimate daughter of Ada. The place of residence fits for the 1901 census.
I have tried a search for a Wardman - Swales marriage with no result.
Martin Swales married Florence E Wardman in Leeds Q3 1893. They had children Annie E b 1794 and then 6 more between 1901 and 1912 (all on GRO Index)

For what it is worth this is likely to be your Annie Elizabeth birth reg (illegit)

Thank you for input from you both. I already have information on Annie Elizabeth Swales who was Ada's illegitimate daughter but brought up as her sister in 1901 census. It is Edward and Ada's marriage that is missing. I will have to presume that it didn't happen. Don't you wish we had a time machine to use when doing family history.
Many thanks
