According to the 1911 census they were

Frederick Thomas O Merrick b. 1883 and Ezebell Dalerson Douglass b. 1885.

or there is another possible Thomas b. 1871 and Elenor b. 1875.

I could pin it down if you know of James' siblings.

Thank you for that,  i was told my Great Grandfather wife was very much younger than him and that she was a "chorus girl", out living him, by miles. Infact i met her when i was a child,  I'm now 60.
My great Grandfather's family disapproved of thier Marrage (could all be a redherring).  I was also told he was. Jewish, and family were unhappy about him marrying out of the faith.
Though none of his or her name are Jewish, maybe his mother???
.
My Gandfather James Odnell-MERRICK (his unusual family/ middle name of Odnell could have been ONELL)?
I believe James had two brothers GORDON & Charlie Merrick.  And two sisters Edie and Ezebelle ( think she was the youngest).
Maybe the Ezabelle i recall meeting was infact not my Great grandmother, Ezebelle but my grandfathers younger sister, of the same name?
Yes, that's the first family I mentioned. I checked the birth dates (FreeBMD) and they are right. Frederick died Dartford area 1952. Can't find Ezebell.
