Was wondering about the Boer War, this name came up on Findmypast but subscription has just run out! The initial A could be Archibald the name of his first son.

Last name First name(s) Soldier number Regiment Record
Brain W G A 35544 Imperial Yeomanry

Not until we get the marriage certificate. She remarried shortly after 1901 and relocated to Somerset. Nothing is known of Walter George her first husband..its a complete mystery!

Nothing coming up Marion.

Do you know for certain that he had died, or could Fanny have been calling herself a widow on the 1901 because they had, in fact separated?

Any idea of his occupation?

Frustratingly we have been unable to locate a death for Walter George Brain born 1873 who died between 1897 and 1901 in Bristol Gloucestershire. His widow was Fanny and he may have been known as George. He is not obvious on any local census for St George Bristol in either 1881/1891. The couple married in 1895 and we are waiting a marriage certificate to confirm his father. His son was born in 1898 but wife Fanny was a widow in 1901. Could someone be kind enough to do a probate search?
