Thank you!!  :) :)

I got back in by using the "About Us", then "Contact Support", and sending a message. (I still don't know whether that worked, or things happened anyway :-\).

Thanks for sending me the newspaper report....It rounds off a very sad state of circumstances. :(

I agree with your assessment of the likely outcome of Margaret's end....she "killed herself by inhaling coal gas through a tube attached to the bedroom wall gas bracket". Hideous. She must have been desperate. Do wonder if William her son was affected all his life. I think he was an only child living out his life alone.

Hello softly softly and jonwarrn

I'm truly grateful for all your help and attention to my problem!

I've been following up on the leads you've kindly researched for me, especially the birth reg and the addresses.

I've got Margaret's death reg now. She's described as "widow of William Gordon Occupation not known". Margaret gassed herself on 12th March at 16 Jolliffe Street. Of course because the death was referred to the Coroner, there's 'no informant' named. The inquest was held 2 days later on 14 March.

I'm looking into further details soon.

Once again, thanks for helping me.  :) :)

Thanks to all of you who have suggested ideas for following up Margaret Gordon and her husband.
 
However, so far nothing seems to 'fit'.  :(

Margaret (Davies) is living with her parents at the 1901 Census.
 
In 1911 Margaret's husband is not with her, but their marriage has lasted 11 years. I wonder if Mr Gordon is at sea? Or they aren't actually married? (I can't find the son's birth anywhere).

Any other suggestions please?  :-\

The Common Room / Re: My now Wife - Pre-1858 Wills, what does this mean?
« on: Thursday 29 January 26 10:57 GMT (UK)  »
I know this is a bit 'off topic', but I have a Settlement Agreement in which the term "my now wife" is used. The marriage took place in 1807, bachelor and widow - unless the husband was lying about his marital status....

Please can anyone help me find the Mr GORDON who married Margaret Ann nee DAVIES born 1871?

They were living in Liverpool/Toxteth Park and their son William was born there in 1902.

1911 Census shows Margaret and William with her brother William DAVIES and family. Margaret's husband is elsewhere. Their marriage has lasted 11 years.

1921 Census shows Margaret now Widowed, with son William.

So I'm looking for a marriage and/or death of Mr ? GORDON :-\

Please can anyone help me find who was living at 15 Cambridge Street, Pimlico SW1 in 1902?
I'm pretty sure it will be tenants rather than the owner.

I can't use 1901 Census because don't know any names!
 
(I think FindMyPast might use searches by address but I haven't got a sub at present.  ??? )
