While looking for another marriage today, I found the marriage of William Mott a few months before his friend, my gt grandfather John David Robert Smoothy. As William had witnessed JDR's wedding I thought JDR might have witnessed his. He didn't but his address is the address of JDR's childhood home. Now I thought William was just there on 1881 census as a friend, but perhaps he was a long-term lodger. I now know that he was a plumber too!
