Classification: Query
Surnames: Longhurst, Cole
James Longhurst b 1844 died 1890 after a collision between his barge "Lion" and a steamboat on the River Thames. His widow Ellen nee Cole died 6 months later in childbirth leaving a daughter Ellen Lydia aged 12 and a son James aged 6. I can find no trace of a marriage between James Longhurst and Ellen Cole Can anybody help? They lived in Havannah Street Poplar
