James Markham Redmore (b. 1847), Clerk, son of Henry Redmore and Martha Markham, married Ann Elizabeth Newton (bap. 3 Jan 1855 at St Mark's, Hull) daughter of John Newton, Ship's Carpenter, and Sarah Ann Woodmancey, at St James's Church, Sutton-on-Hull, on 4 Sep 1871. James (24) gave his residence as The Groves - then Hull's most notorious slum area - while Anne (18) gave hers as Spring Street. Witnesses were John Boyle Power [1] and Emily Redmore, who was James' younger sister - she may have been Ann's bridesmaid.

[1] John Boyle Power, who quite likely was James' best man, in 1861, had been listed as a Telegraph clerk from Ireland. The notice of his death at the age of 87 in 1932, described him as late Superintendent Hull G.P.O. Telegraph Department.

James and Anne had five children:
