I am trying to find the death of this man.
He married Jessie Ada Hart on 14 April 1892 at St Luke, Formby. They had a son Frederick William on 18 December 1892 in Liverpool.
On 3 July 1897 Jessie gave birth to another son Arthur, whose father was Arthur Lumb Crawshaw (1863 - 1901). She was about 6 weeks pregnant with their daughter Dorothy when ALC died. As far as I can ascertain Jessie and Arthur were never married. Arthur had previously divorced his first wife Clara Roper in 1886 and I can't find a divorce for Jessie and Friedrich.
Jessie then married Arthur's brother Victor (as Jessie Ada Lieder) in 1904 in Birmingham and had 3 more daughters with him before he died in 1912.
Now I can't find out what happened to her first husband Friedrich. It does not seem she was free to marry Arthur (of course they could just have decided not to marry), but then goes onto marry Victor.
I wonder when Friedrich died or if he disappeared off the face of the earth and she could not marry Arthur.
Thank you
