Note on Marriages to Susanna and Hannah

A James William Wilson appears in the 1851 census in Edward Street, St Saviour, London, with wife Susanna, both aged 21. No children identified from the census. A tree on Family Search shows a possible marriage on the 2nd March 1851 at St Bride, Fleet Street, London and this is confirmed by FreeBMD with marriage registration in West London registration district between a James William Wilson and Susanna Collins in March quarter 1851. They went on to have two children but unfortunately, the death of a Susannah Wilson is registered in St Saviour in December quarter 1859.
James remarries in 1862 to a Hannah Berry, and they go on to have 7 children.
