Does anyone know where there might be records of Town Criers for Tenby?

My great great uncle John John, on his daughter Florence's marriage certificate in 1931 says he is the Town Crier.

Any infomation about him would be great!

Thank you 

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 

I have been trying and failing to get a digital image of a death for one of my grandmother's cousins.

She was Gertrude Woodmansey whose death is registered in December Quarter 1903 in Scarborough.  I have her volume and page (9d 243) but putting this information into the GRO website produces 'No Results', even if I widen the search perameters on the name just in case there is a spelling issue and changed the sex to male just in case she was indexed wrong.  It only turns up her mother Clara's death a few weeks earlier.

I know her cause of death (Peritonitis from a burst appendix) but its the location I am after as I am not sure why she was in Scarborough at the time. 

She is buried with her mother in Hull Western Cemetary (as far as I am aware).  Has anyone any bright ideas as to why it won't be showing up at all?  I have tried other people on the page and they are showing up (I tried Mary Jane Dearden Tiffany and Grace Tyson and they are there)

Thank you.

Hi

Can anyone find Mary Elizabeth on the 1881 census?

She is not with her mother Emma, siblings and step-father William Powell who are all at 4 South Terrace, Ditherington, Shropshire.

She would have been 15 give or take so could possibly be in service.  The family have connections to Liverpool, Wrexham and Shrewsbury.  She might be known as Knowles which is her birth name or Powell as all of her other siblings (on the 1881) have taken Powell as their surname.

She is alive as she marries Sam Griffiths (registered January 1890 at Atcham, Shropshire).  There is a Mary Elizabeth Knowles, age 15 in Liverpool (Little Woolton/Gateacre) but gives a birth place of Salford, so I am skeptical about that one. 

Thank you
