Who was Phoebe's third husband?

[ctcw]

Phoebe's second husband was William Henry Delves (1857-1884): they married in 1881 in Wakefield district.
My uncle Terry used to visit his granny Phoebe in California Row when he was young (she didn't die till 1923), and he told me there had been 3 husbands.

Just been looking at my tree. I seem to have a more of Pheobe's descendants to beyond the 1911.

Was your Uncle Terry b. 1905, son of Thomas Wall and Henrietta ?Broxup. ?

[ctcw]

Uncle Terry (christened Thomas Terry Wall)  31/10/1904-19/7/1995 was indeed the second child of Thomas Wall and Henrietta Broxup. I am still in touch with his daughter Nancy about the family history research. There were 7 children altogether - the youngest was Ben (1919-2007); I was glad we managed to visit him in Canada a few years before his death; and keep in touch with some of his children too.
I haven't done much research on the Broxup side - one of my cousins, Billy Broxup (a bookmaker, so the wealthy member of the family) had done quite a bit already on censuses.

I'm descended from Edward and Catherine's son John who married Caroline Parish. I've tried to follow up all the descendants as far as possible.  A rootschat member, WelshYorky, is also a descendant.

I'll see what I can dig up for you and send it via the e-mail you sent.

Haven't worked it out yet but we are maybe 3rd/4th  cousins

I was born Lee, my grandfather was a Deakin, I live in Altofts. I have a Jeremiah Deakin, born to
Henry Deakin and Sarah Hudson in around 1869. Henry was my great great grandfather and was
killed in the explosion on 2nd October 1886 at Pope and Pearson Colliery. Would love to know if
we have a family association. I shall be 73 on the 12th - so don't waste any time!!

Hi

Hold on - I'm not that that many years behind you    - it looks as if your Jeremiah was married to Winnifred Stokes and the father of Irene Deakin. He was born Wellington Shropshire. On 1881, his parents are Henry and Sarah, b. Shropshire. living Park Row, Normanton.

Lots of children so will transcribe them and put them up.
