Dorset / William Budden (1744)
« on: Monday 30 March 20 11:49 BST (UK) »
I have been looking for a marriage for a William Budden (born 1744) in Dorset after finding a gravestone image showing that he had a second wife Susanna. I did a search using the card catalogue set to Dorset marriages (see attachment) It returned 2 documents for the marriage. With the difference in dates I thought one would be the banns and the later one the marriage, but on opening them I found they both were for a marriage. I have found 2 records before in different formats for the same person, but the dates have always matched.
Is this just an error, perhaps a deferment of the marriage or is the earlier one in fact the banns.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I did look at the log for the ship, but I looked closer to the date of his death, where I thought it might have been mentioned. I didn't think to look further back to see what had happened to him as I thought he might have died as result of an accident or the like, on board. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info on cause of death

World War One / RN deaths
« on: Saturday 13 July 19 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone
I have recently found a death for one of my relatives. He was on the HMS Princess Royal and died on 7 August 1915. The CWGC site gives no details but I found another naval death list (attached) but am no closer to finding out how he died. His death (under Cause) is listed a 3, but I have searched in vain for what this means. From other similar documents I don't believe he was killed in action. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the numbers on the attached document mean.
Regards
Linna

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Christchurch for William Henry Steele COMPLETED

Hi everyone
I've now received the marriage cert for Harry Steel and Louisa Woodford and it confirms that Harry Steel is the right man. On the cert his father is Charles, a gardener, which matches the information that I have on him.
Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone for your input.
I have requested a copy of the marriage of Harry Steel to Louisa Woodford as along with you all I believe that is probably the right marriage. I'll let you know if we're right.
I've found the newspaper articles about the death of the child so I'll read them shortly.
Thanks again everyone for all your information.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Marriage Christchurch/New Forest Reg districts for William Henry Steele
« on: Tuesday 28 May 19 09:15 BST (UK) »
Hi
I think I've correctly traced one of my forebears through the censuses but am confused about who he married.
He was William Henry Steele (sometimes Steel) son of Charles and Barbara (born 1867)
On the 1901 census (RG13/189929/9) he is William H, a plasterer, married to a Louisa with children Gertrude and Walter. Checking GRO their mother was called Woodford. On 1911 census (RG14PN5874 RG78PN267 RD95 SD2 ED43 SN36) he is a plasterer married to a Louie, which I believe is a variation of Louisa with now 3 children all with a mother called Woodford.
However I can't find a marriage anywhere for a William Henry Steele to a Louisa Woodford. I found a marriage for William Henry Steele to a Lucy French (Sep 1890 in New Forest) and a marriage for a Harry Steel to a Louisa Woodford (Jun 1887 Christchurch).
My inclination is to go with Harry but I think it is unusual for someone named William Henry to be married under a nickname. Can anyone help me to decide which one is correct? Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi Hugh
Thanks for that full and informative reply. It has given me something to go on anyway. Years ago I had a puzzle over an army record for my grandfather. It took several years but, as records became available, I was finally able to piece the story together, so this puzzle may take time but no doubt something may surface enventually.
Thanks again for you help
