Thats really helpful thank you. I was going to do a summary of what i have found so far but will keep that seperate. In 1851 hes down as fish dealer when married to Mary Ann Mills. Ive only got the 1851 census so far for him. So is it possible his first wife died. And thanks for the kids birth reg. This family are not making it easy what with all the spellings.
He is a widower on his second marriage.
If it happens to me I "edit", delete the content. Type "duplicate" and save.
Thanks followed your advice. I keep getting server errors at the moment.

Martha was a widow. There are marriage bans, very faded - dad thought to be Rees. Reer or Park
Usually a minor was under 21. A marriage age of 15 in 1847 - Realistic or not? Marriages were legal for girls as young as 12, and boys as young as 14, until 1929 when the marriage age was raised to 16. However parental consent was required for the marriage to be fully legal.
We don't know James was alive in 1860.
yeah I saw these thanks Janice. Only query is what the surname is of martha, whether rees, reer or park. I cant read her fathers name as its so faded.
I only assumed James was alive as on most marriage docs if the father is deceased it usually has that added. Ive come across a lot of them where a son or daughter is getting married, they list the dad but it has deceased entered. Yeah I can get the making up of a name, it could be even her mum did. I even started to question if sabina wasnt real as such but snell and sabina are unusual names to pick if making something up...I think she exists I just dont know where! I wonder if Snell is her mothers maiden name or whether Sabina was registered by her mum whoever she is, and then she married James or got together with James hence any children taking the name on?
There are admission records for the period matilda and Eliza were at Gem Street Industrial School, and was told childrens records are under reference MS 994/5/1, plus other categories under MS 994/5. Previously I posted these numbers here too Ms994/14 and ms994/23.
In 1852 Samuel Carr married Martha REAR in Yarmouth.
Great Janice thank you
There is an entry for Eliza Moyes but when you look at the original census, looks like Mayes. I would lay bets this is Matilda's sister. Eliza was 8, dont know when the census was done, perhaps before Eliza's birthday. It has her down as 8 even tho she was born 1861 but one of those years could account for the census being done before her birthday as I think the 1871 census from memory was in April and Eliza was born 26th June. It is a year out but census's arent accurate with ages as we know. Matilda was 3 but born 1867. In 1881 Matilda was at Walton Rd Major Lesters Girls Home in Kirkdale, lancashire. I've looked through the census and no sign of Eliza in 1881. Someone a long time ago said the girls at Gem Street would have got out of there as soon as they were able. Also Eliza would have been 20 in 1881. There is an Eliza Mayes working as a servant in 1881
