When William remarried, was he a widower or divorced?

on his marriage cert he said he was a widower which he was from his first wife but then it was stated he hadnt seen his wife meaning Mary for 14 years.so if my calculations are right they were only together four years.thanks lnr

Hi Lnr,

From my experience, marriage certificates often provided the date an individual had become a widow/er (i.e. providing proof that they were not committing bigamy).

1906 minus 14 equals 1892. So if that statement is true do those five children found by Janette belong to your William and Mary?

Do you know whether they did have children, if so, their names and dates/places of birth?

Do you have William's death printout? This should provide the age of any living children........

Hi Lnr,

Can I ask, do you have a transcription of the death certificate or a copy of the original document (i.e. what NZ BDM call a 'printout')?

The former should provide the sex and ages of surviving issue.

Hi lnr

The birth registrations given in Reply # 1 for GARDINER - children of "Mary and William" - seem unlikely to be for the couple who married in Christchurch.    With the exception of the child "Elsie", all were registered in Auckland.    ???

[The names of the children of William GARDINER - d. 1910 -  are given in his Will (dated 1909) :
You can find this at the familysearch.org website.     You'll know to search under the name of HUMPHRIES for this  ;) ]
