Her death:

_____________________

They were married by Licence but this is not being obtained.

Her marriage not found on FreeBMD oriignally because her name was on the index as Katharine. Similarly his marriage not found as his surname was on the index as Davies.  Fortunately FreeBMD misread her name as Katherine and I was able to get to the root of the problems.  No correction issued to FreeBMD as the transcriptions are correct.
