Chris :)

(MC, are the Newpapers FMP working for you?)

They have been Chris, wasn't able to find any mention of his death in them.

(tuts here!, just get blue square, image doesn't load!, all ok friday)

Chris :)

Ah Chris - sounds good. Myra and William Henry were living at 6 DEAN Street Newport in 1911 :-)

Just a quick "thank you"....what started out as an innocent question has been found to be a right can of worms! I cannot believe the amount of bigamists I have uncovered in my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Myra Coleman seems to have been Maria West who married Edward Coleman....and when she married William Henry in 1900 Edward was alive and kicking in Northants.......

Fortunately none of them are my direct line - phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all once again :-)

Just out of interest....on another thread Choccy posted a Western Mail extract from March 1918

And whilst reading it I came across the following....

THE SEAMAN'S WIDOW

In the workmen's compensation case at Newport of Mrs Elizabeth Ann Gale, widow, against the owners of the steamship "Azul", which had been lost at sea, the defence was that there was no dependency. Applicant denied, in answer to Mr Moxon, who appeared for the owners, that she left her husband, lived in turn with two other men and had illegitimate children. She understood her husband had gone to live with another woman and had "married" her, but she (applicant) promised not to take proceedings as long as he gave her money. His Honour Judge Hill Kelly decided that dependency had not been established and made an award in favour of the respondents - the owners of the vessel.

Oh what a lot of time this would have saved us all lol :-)

What a coincidence Jude! That was sheer chance what Choccy posted on your other unrelated thread.

Gale, William Henry, 55, 5th February 1917, Mercantile Marine, S.S. "Azul", Donkeyman, husband of Elizabeth Ann Gale (nee Francis), of Bishopsgate Parade, Cardiff Rd., Newport, Mon., TOWER HILL MEMORIAL

(above from google, looks to relate)

Chris :)

Unintentional help noted :-D

WOW!!! :-D :-D :-D

What were the chances of THAT happening?

Jude-I dare you to explain that entire story on a new thread. ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D
