11 November 1899 - Hampshire Advertiser - Southampton, Hampshire

Eastleigh.
A smoking concert was held at the Junction Hotel on Wednesday evening for the benefit of the widow of Guard Charles McMasters, who expired suddenly while on duty in August last. A good programme was provided, and it is anticipated that as the result of the effort, a very helpful sum will be handed over to Mrs. McMasters.

Charles McMasters born 1847 West Tytherley, Hampshire

And

Emily Chandler born 1849 Barton, Hampshire

The couple married in Portswood, Hampshire in 1872

They had a daughter Lucy born 1873.........died 1876

Charles McMasters died in 1899......Residence: Eastleigh, Hampshire (Railway Guard)

Emily remarried George Newton in 1900

The only census record I can find for this couple after the 1872 marriage........is Emily with husband George Newton on the 1901 census living in Eastleigh, Hampshire.

Emily died in 1903

As Charles McMasters was a Railway guard and worked for the Eastleigh Railway, I can understand why he might not show on the census records.........but I can't find Emily on the 1881 and 1891 census records.


I have searched on Ancestry and FMP but not had any luck.
