Hi
On freeBMD
there is a a Samuel Hughes who married a sarah drury 3Q 1894 Ref:6a 1253 in Oswestry could
it be that he had already joined the army and met her on leave or something and so was
married near where he was stationed although oswestry is not that far from where he was
living in 1891. It might be worth trying to contact the regiment to see if they have a
service record or something for him as if he was in the army already he would have had to
get permission to marry if he was already married when joining the army his wife would be
down as next of kin for his pay if she stayed in the uk or if something happened to him.
I will try and follow up this couple to see when they had kids.
