Family 2 Annie Johnson, b. Abt 1856

Married 11 Apr 1886 Parish of St George, Barnsley, Yorkshire

MR 11 Apr 1886 See Notes.

Notes

MC. At Parish of St George, Barnsley. After banns. JOSEPH ELLIS T, age 31, (said to be) bachelor, tailor, of St George's. Father JOSEPH ELLIS, tailor. Annie Johnson, age 30, spinster of St Georges. Father Thomas Johnson, shoemaker. Both signed. Witnesses Sarah Hawker and Daniel Hawker, both signed.

JOSEPH ELLIS T was the same person as ELLIS T who married Alice Leach in September 2 1877. The signature on each marriage certificate is similar. They were not divorced and Alice was still alive in 1886, so the second 'marriage' to Annie Johnson must have been bigamous.

Children

	1. SETH Tattersfield, b. 30 Aug 1886, Barnsley [natural]
	2. ALFRED JOHNSON Tattersfield, b. 5 Sep 1889, Barnsley , d. 12 Jan 1906, Barnsley, age 17 (Age 16 years) [natural]

Notes

ELLIS probably appears in the 1881 census as JOSEPH T (24), lodger, unmarried, tailor in Notts. Address: 48 Mount East, St Mary, Nottingham. With Mary Ann Wombwell, 69, widow, her daughter, and other lodgers including Frederick Palmer (66), tailor. JOSEPH said to be born in Manchester.

ELLIS seems to have re-appeared as JOSEPH ELLIS T. He married Annie Johnson April 11 1886 in St George Church, Barnsley, stating he was the son of Joseph Ellis.(It is considered that his father was in fact ELLIS Tattersfield). They had children SETH, WILLIE (possible) and ALFRED JOHNSON.

There was no divorce of ELLIS or anybody else with the surname TATTERSFIELD between the 2 marriages in 1877 and 1886, as informed by The Court Service, London. As Alice was alive the marriage to Annie Johnson seems to have been bigamous.

The original signatures on his two MC's and on the MC of his brother JAMES are all the same.

MC Contd. Witnesses James Tattersfield (brother) and Hannah Leach, both signed.
