Beatrice was 25 at the time of her marriage and was employed  as a Dressmaker (1901 Census). She was the daughter of MARTIN (1855 - 1937  ) and FANNY NOCKALLS nee ROBINSON (1860 - 1928). 

FANNY NOCKALLS was married in the December quarter of 1907 ( Sheffield GRO Ref Volume 9C Page875) at All Saint's Church, Pitsmoor, Sheffield. She married an ARTHUR RANDELL.
