Brumhead Hull / Orphaned children

[SBedwell]

Thanks for all your help it looks as though Clara Drew was my great nan.

Does anyone know what happened to Charles Brumhead her husband?

Much appreciated.

I cannot find any online records for Hull and I don't live in the area.

For the future it might help you to know that coverage of the Hull area is good on the free site www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk. (Bear in mind that this site yields references relevant for orders from the local register offices and not the GRO; the references are not transferable between the two).

On that site you will see this marriage, which may represent a remarriage for Clara's widower Charles:

1931

BRUMHEAD Charles H
STEPHENSON Eliza
St Stephens Hull JD/13/300

(FreeBMD has the same marriage with the GRO reference: Dec qtr 1931 Hull 9d 629)

Anna

Possible birth for Charles from FreeBMD:

Birth, Jun qtr 1903

Charles Herbert BRUMHEAD

Hull 9d 326

thanks I'm looking at the yorkshireBMD and the 1901 census etc - but as you mention it's a case of possibilities.

I wonder why the boys were orphaned if they had a living father?  I know one boy kept the name Brumhead, one became a Jennison and my grandfather became a smith (adopted by his aunt).

thanks for the information regarding the possible remarriage.
