someone offering to do look ups at Winchester. It might be worth asking if she can find anything for you?

Gail, for what it's worth, I can't find a trace of her either.

Thanks ..... I will send for marriage certificate to see if James was widower or not.
So frustrating I cannot find death details for her though. Have discovered that researching family tree involves a lot of frustrations!!

Thanks for your time and efforts - much appreciated

The marriage cert may say if he was a widower

James Racketts Hobday married Frances Martha Farmer (b1872) in 1888 in Winchester and they had 2 children - Frances 1889 and James 1891. (All are together on 1891 census)
James Senior then married Eva Hiscock 1899 in Winchester. He and Eva are together with their children and Frances - Frances Martha' daughter. (James junior died in 1893). But I cannot find Frances Martha anywhere. Did she die? Did she re-marry? I cannot find details for either.
Any help solving this mystery greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Gail
