From Quaker birth records the first five children (1858-1865) were born in Bessbrook, Co. Armagh where John was possibly working for the Richardsons. The 'Description of Father' entry is blank.
Edward was born (1872) in Laurelvale, Co. Armagh where John was possibly working for Thomas Sinton.

The original information I had was that the wedding took place in Chatteris, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom which was in the North Witchford Registration District, Cambridge from 1837 to 1889, but the marriage registration record states that it took place in the St. Ives Registration District, Huntingdonshire, England. It will probably need a copy of the marriage certificate to solve this.
