Sarah Elizabeth Harmer-Caron

[Jockwatt]

I have just received the Blackley, Manchester, 1932 death certificate of Sarah Elizabeth Harmer-Caron aged 64. It states that she was the wife of Frank Harmer-Caron a professional violinist. BUT I am blowed if I can find a record of their marriage! Can anyone please help?

There are 2 possible marriages for Frank on FreeBMD

March qtr 1889 Toxteth Park to either Annie MADDOCK or Lizzie MEREDITH
March qtr 1917 Manchester to Bertha NEWTON

Is "Bertha" Sarah Elizabeth?

The GRO index has the death under surname 'Caron'
Deaths Jun qtr 1932 
Caron    Sarah E H    64   
Manchester N.    8d   585   

He originally married Lizzie Meredith in 1889, have you traced her death.  He does not hyphenate his surname on the marriage entry

You've probably seen this - Frank and Elizabeth's grave

Thanks for your reply.  No Bertha is NOT Sarah Elizabeth Harmer-Caron so it is the other one that I've been having difficulty with.  I HAVE sent for the one you suggested, so I'll just have to wait and see !!!

Yes maddys52, thanks I have seen the stone.

The death notice in 1940 for Francis Victor Caron, eldest son of Frank & Elizabeth Harmer indicates that F.V.Carons wife was Bertha.

They seem to add the Harmer as and when they please.

This marriage for Frank Harmer Caron (Violinist) to Lizzie Meredith states that his father was Peter Caron an Actor. FHC was 20 when he married

Yes. I do have the marriage for Frank Harmer Caron (Violinist) to Lizzie Meredith.
