The above person was born in wilne, derbyshire in 1846 and in 1867 married Mary Pass in Derby.
After the 1871 census I have found no trace, do not think he immigrated, just trying to find his death which I think now will be inexed as just Adam Smedley.
it is not the death in 1906 as GRO says that person was 80.
Any help tracing death please be appreciated as usual.

Looks as though Mary remarried?
Barry, thank you so Mary married prior to 1891 to Albert Ward soAdam must have died before 1891 unless Mary committed bigamy.
There is though only a slight possibility is could adam have been upto no good and served a prison sentence and hence since they had not been together for so long got the marriage annuled or could the courts have given Mary custody of the children if Adam had not paid for their keep etc
