I have a Mary Jane Hurcom who married Frank Bagshaw in Birmingham, Warwickshire England in 1876.The 1881 census stated "Jane" was born in Smethwick, Staffordshire, England about 1855.
Jane died, leaving Frank with a large family.He came to Providence, Rhode Island, USA as a jeweler.There on 16 Nov 1889 he married Ida L. Harcum, also known as Ada Louisa who I suspect was Jane's sister...note two different spellings - however it may have been due to poor handwriting.
I have searched the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses of England and cannot locate these two.There is no record in the census of them in Staffordshire and no record of them until Jane appears in 1881 in Birmingham.
