  Alfred Snelson married Catherine Fanny Hamm on 16 June 1886 in East Haddon, Brixforth, Northamptonshire, England, when she was 26y. The marriage was attended by Lucy Snelson. (. This is a real mystery. If she died in 1880, then how can she turn up in 1886 in Northamptonshire as a witness to this wedding? I have not been able to solve this puzzle. This must be another Lucy Snelson.)

Census

Census 1881	4 April 1881	Annie Snelson Id #1,672 (Principal) was at home on Census night 4 April 1881 at 53 Handbridge, Chester, Cheshire; The records say that Jane was Head of the Household, but absent on Census night. I think that this might refer to Jane Roscow [19942] who married Hannah's brother Thomas Snelson, the plumber - who lived in Bolton. On the other hand, this Jane may be the daughter of Thomas Snelson and Jane Crawford. On the surface that is - I think the Census recorder has made a mistake here - I am sure that this William Roberts is married to Hannah Snelson, the daughter of Samuel Snelson & Margaret Coventry. This theory is supported by the fact that Hannah's parish marriage records that her father is Samuel Snelson, a cabinet maker. Jane Roscow died in 1880 - which might explain why she was absent and also she lived in Bolton. It's a mystery for the moment. I think in 1881, William Roberts is identified as the Son-in-Law of Jane - who is absent but perhaps the real Head of the Hosehold or absent landlord. William's wife is Hannah and their 2 children Mary H Roberts and Sarah Roberts are at home that night. Also home is Annie Snelson shown as a daughter aged 17 - but she must be the daughter of Margaret Snelson [14], Hannah's sister methinks. Jane is Annie's aunt - well because Jane Roscow is married to Annie's mother's brother. Witness Role: grand daughter Original Documents, Source and Citations here4
