Thanks Elizabeth, I did wonder about that one, but as husband had lived his entire adult life in the city, can't think why West Ham? But I guess Mile End is close to West Ham.

On the other hand, the couple had been together as husband-and-wife for a while before they married, so I also wonder if they married because Mary Ann was dying. That might just be the one then.

West Ham and Mile End are quite close. I also wondered whether they married because she was ill. I couldn't find any other death that fitted with her age and the vicinity where they lived and married.

They are very close. My London geography is so poor, I can never get my head round Essex (or parts of it) being next door to East London.
