Mary HOOD - is it an error
« on: Wednesday 29 April 09 15:04 BST (UK) »

Hi,
Fresh eyes on a problem please. Mary Hood died 10.12.1943 aged 83 at Polrode St Tudy. Her death cert records the informant as COLIN HUNTER BLAIR son-in law. My problem is I cannot establish how he could be her son in law. Mary married a Harrison Hood25.02 1884 and had the following children,
1 Louise Hood 1884 married Frank Cox 1907 Christchurch
2 Gretchen 1886-1887
3 Vere 1892 married Cecil Manlove 1917 and died as Manlove in 1977 in Minehead
4 Norah 1894 married Alfred Alleyne 1942 and died as Alleyne in 1982 in Cirencester.
Also it appears Colin Hunter Blair married an Olive Bath in 1924.
Am I missing something or is it a mistake??
Any ideas,

Thanks

John

Are you sure this is the death cert of the right Mary Hood?

Good thinking!

Colin Hunter Blair appears to be 13 in 1911, resident in Kensington.

Harrison Hood married Mary Ann Buckle in 1884?  Did they have a son named Harrison?

If not, perhaps the marriage of Harrison Hood to Mary Fleming in September Q of 1926 is a second marriage for him, and the widow who died in 1943 wasn't Mary Ann née Buckle.  In 1901 Harrison's wife is aged 44 - so born c1856.  Mary Hood who died in 1943 aged 83 would have a birth date c1860.

Hi,
By the 1911 census Harrison Hood(1852) had left his first wife Mary Ann Hood nee Buckle and was living in the household of Mary Fleming as a border. He married Mary Moon Fleming nee Hoer in 1926 at the age of 74. Harrison died 1949 aged 96 and Mary 12 days later aged 78. Harrison to my knowledge and research never had any sons only daughters. You are right to point out that Mary's death age is 4 years out (she was born 1856)but info is only as good as the informants knowledge.
Do know from electoral registers that Mary was living with her daughter Norah in London between 1936-39 and Norah married Alfred Alleyne in 1942 Bodmin district the same district Mary died at 1 year later. Just looked closer at death cert and age may read 85(in line with gro record)which narrows down timescale.

So - is Colin Hunter Blair the son in law of Mary Moon Flemming from her previous marriage?

So the death cert is that of his first wife (nee Buckle)?

But ... in 1943 so cant be, as he remarried 1926 and death cert says "widow of..."

I think what is being said is that the abandoned wife Mary Ann (nee Buckle) was described on her death on 1943 as a widow although of course she was not. (This doesn't strike me as that odd - my ggg-grandfather deserted his wife and married bigamously, and the deserted wife thereafter described herself as a widow).

Her estranged husband and his second "wife" then died within days of each other in 1949.

Hi all

found this on National Archives;

Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes, later Supreme Court of Judicature: Div...Divorce Court File: 4197.
Appellant: Olive Mary Hunter-Blair. Respondent: Colin Edward Hunter-Blair. Type: Wife's petition for divorce [WD]. .
 Date: 1932.

and then this;

Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes, later Supreme Court of Judicature: Div...Divorce Court File: 4432.
 Appellant: Claude Ernest Thompson. Respondent: Louise Thompson. Co-respondent: Colin Hunter Blair. Type: Husband's petition for divorce [HD]. .
 Date: 1932.

could Louise be Louise Hood Fox?


ooo my

Claude Ernest Thompson = on same page Louisa HOOD

Dec q 1905 
Strand London, Middlesex 
 1b   1093 

So If Louise divorced Ernest Thompson and Colin Hunter Blair divorced Olive in the same year ... there must be a marriage for them ...thus making Colin Hunter Blair the son-in-law.

We would have to search the complete marriage index from 1932 onward

same details as above

Louise Hood = Hunter Blair
