Interestingly Richard HUDDLESTON does not record his father's name or profession and lives in St Paul's Sculcoates, Hull, where the wedding took place. Nor does he seem to appear in any census until 1871. In the 1861 census George WREGHITT, aged 48, was a warehouseman and Parish Clerk born in Lund. Why was Hannah in Sculcoates? Why did the wedding take place in his parish?
By 1871 Hannah had started a new family with Richard Huddleston.

Only two children from her previous marriage remained at home.
And, two children by Richard HUDDLESTON had been born one in the same quarter as the marriage. Was this the reason for a Sculcoates marriage away from Flamborough society?

After Hannah's death, in 1892, Richard went to live with his son John until his death in the first quarter of 1912 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 467). The Hull Daily Mail, of Saturday 10 February 1912 reports
| The death of Mr. Richard Huddleston removes the oldest resident of Flamborough. He was a member of a family of thirteen of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Huddleston, of Kilnwick, and only one brother now survives. All the members of the family reached the age of four score years, while the father and mother reached the ages of eighty-one and eighty-two years. Mr. Huddleston went to Flamborough over fifty years ago. He had two sons, one of whom is now in New Zealand, and he has resided with the other for many years. He farmed South Sea Farm, but gave that up some years ago. |

The 1939 Register indicates that Jessie married a Turner. On 09 November 1944 she married James Pearson TURNER (GRO ref: Halifax 9a 997). An Ancestry record shows James Pearson being born on 11 October 1903 in West Derby, Liverpool and dying on 25 January 1987 in St Helens, Merseyside. However, there is no supporting GRO birth or death record. There is no obvious record of James Pearson Turner's birth or in the 1939 Registration.
Ancestry record that Jessie Turner, living in Sale, Cheshire, died on 14 March 2001 aged 91. (GRO ref: Manchester E74B 0061E 228)

John Kenneth was born on 12 September 1911 in Flamborough (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 690) and was baptised in Flamborough on 25 November 1911. It is assumed that John Kenneth had moved from Halifax to Coventry as part of war work. He appears to be a single man in a shared accommodation.
