Mr Gordon, probably in Toxteth

[softly softly]

Sad sad end. I personally do not think she ever married William Gordon but he was probably the father. Also I do not think son William ever married but his death certificate might name a wife/partner. He was still single in 1939.

Many thanks for getting back to us. It's so disappointing when research is done and no reply is ever received. Well done.

I agree with your assessment of the likely outcome of Margaret's end....she "killed herself by inhaling coal gas through a tube attached to the bedroom wall gas bracket". Hideous. She must have been desperate. Do wonder if William her son was affected all his life. I think he was an only child living out his life alone.

William's occupation ties in with 1939 war register entry.

Thanks for sending me the newspaper report....It rounds off a very sad state of circumstances.
