dead end - Margaret Tench nee Kellet

[Suzicals]

Isobel is my nan, thats her father,  He died in Delhi in 1908 of sunstroke.

confusing when they have the same name of their fathers   William R Tench snr and Margarets first child was called William R Tench too

[Suzicals]

The only way he could have married Mary after her divorce is if he was a widower or divorcee - what does the 1906 marriage cert say about his marital status

I would have guess so, but he did marry her in 1902 in Doncaster, when at least i know mary was still married to John, but thats my delema, I cant find a death for Margaret in 1901/2 or a divource in that time either.  I dont have the marrage cert so i dont know what it says about his marrital status.
Think i will have to have to get a copy of that marrage cert of 1906 to see what it says

At the moment, I think that is your best bet, although the only problem is that if he was still married he is hardly likely to have said so! However, as I said earlier, having had one marriage declared illegal I wouldn't have thought he would have risked the same happening to his second marriage to Mary.

He'd be daft to do it I agree But as i cant find a death of Margaret so he could marry 'again'  i am going to have to guess she died abroad possibly?

Thanks for everyone's thoughts

Have you found all of the children of William & Margaret on the England 1911 census. If not who is missing.

Sorry if I was not clear but as we can't find Margaret in 1911 I wondered whether any of the children had not been found on that census.

No - that is the bigamist - Margaret's husband.  Isabel was the daughter of William R & Margaret as per 1901 census and the grandmother of Suzicals

Isabel Tench  West Derby    8b   637

William Reveley Tench b 1847 died between 1906 - 1911 - possibly in India
