If Evan Jones is a labourer on Mary Ellen's marriage cert then that doesn't fit with the Evan we have been looking at since he is a joiner on everything as far as I can remember.

I know but holding on barely to the thread of hope that as she was so young she didn't actually remember I have been sceptic about this line from the start so it won't stop me from looking into the others

Just checking the witnesses for the Rigby girls' marriages in case Mary Ellen appears. Witnesses at Elizabeth Day Rigby's marriage were Frederick Burgess and Elizabeth Evans, no help but she got married at Garston, though, so that's a good sign, isn't it? Not found the right Sarah Rigby marriage yet to check her witnesses.

I've also been trying to check the various marriages in this tree for witnesses no luck yet finding a Mary Ellen.
Sarah married a John Jacob 1st we think (although everything does tie up to this being correct), could not find the actual cert but there is a reference to the marriage. What is rather intriguing is she then married Michael Llynskey (also only have reference to the cert) but John Jacob appears to still be alive with a son on one of the census. She then married Frank Damon in 1912 the witnesses Ethel May and Richard Abbott – Ethel May’s maiden name is Fitton and she is Sarah’s sister Elizabeth Rigby’s daughter .
