Hi M

Back to your (much) earlier question.   

Yes, the Coroner's file (1920), is for Catherine, wife of Michael. 
Have added the link ^ (above) for their cemetery records which I omitted from previous post.

Will endeavour to view Coroner's file next time I'm at Archives.

Also found a marriage for a Annie Hallasey in 1920 (Although this would make her 39!) Do you think it might be worth sending for to see if she is a relative and work forward to living relatives who may know some history?

Hi again

Pleased to say you can cross the above Annie (m. 1920), off your list.  [ There was a divorce file for her (1963) - and she later used the names "Jean Annie Patricia".   She was not however the sister of Alice. ]
I wouldn't buy any (BDM) "printouts" just yet - I think there are some further avenues to try before resorting to spending $$.

Annie HALLASEY - Edward REEVES - 1902

Did Mary (wife of Edward REEVES) die ... and her sister has gone on to marry her bro-in-law ?
(Some children to an Annie and Edward 1902 +.   Also a pre-nuptial child to Annie H. )

Hi M

My hunch re: Annie HALLASEY marrying her late sister (Mary's) husband, would seem to be correct.
But just to confuse matters, after Edward REEVES died in 1913, Annie had yet another marriage - this time using the name of Annie Lilian REEVES. 

Possibly when Mary died, she stepped in to care for Mary and Edward's children - one of whom was a son Alfred REEVES who died in WW1.     Alfred's file tells that he was born in Hastings, and was  the son of the late Mary and Edward REEVES.   But on his Army attestation form he'd named his Next-of-Kin as :  "Mrs W. QUINNEY (Mother), Boundary Road, Hastings."

PS :  Have another idea we can try in the search for the elusive Alice ... but will add this tomorrow, when I'm slightly more awake.

Ah .. great work KHP !   

Quite probably the grandfather (Mr HALLASSY) ?

Looks like others seem to be looking as there are trees for him on both Ancestry and Mundia, also others with trees for Mary Hallesy.

Mmm .. think I looked at those earlier ??   Will go back though for another "gizz".

Just thought it would be of interest of Mary's place of birth
