Title: Lavinia Terry nee Moverly (Moverley)
Post by: Mehrtsgirl on Friday 01 February 19 02:48 GMT (UK)

I was wondering if anyone is researching Lavinia Margaret Terry nee Moverly (Moverley). DOB 1883 married to George Benjamin Terry in 1909. They were from around Gillingham although I believe that Lavinia lived in Maidstone before her death. TIA.

Have you tracked her in censuses?

Thanks for the info everyone. I actually just want to connect with anyone who may be researching her particularly if they are descendants. I have looked for children from this marriage but no luck thus far.  :)

Who registered her death?  That might give a clue as to a relative that was alive then (we know her husband pre-deceased her)

In my family tree is Lavinia Emma Maverly born 1883 in Gravesend KEnt she married William Henry Bethel , he died and she remarried? Wonder if this is the same person or  justa  big coincidence

Thanks Scottieb but the Lavinia I'm researching is Lavinia Margaret born in Gillingham. She married at 19 and while she could have squeezed in a quick marriage  ;) I'm guessing it's not her :)
