Probate

From freeBMD

Death: Mar 1885, Anniss, William, 77, St Thomas 5b 27

The only marriage possibility for William Anniss and a Sarah at an appropriate date is:

Marriage: Mar 1859, Anniss, William, St Thomas 5b 129
Marriage: Mar 1859, Podbury, Sarah, St. Thomas 5b 129

There may be some confusion between this William and the William Anniss who married Mary Grace Cook.

Curiously, in the 1881 census, a 'Sarah Bond, Sister-in-law' is staying with William and Sarah.
