Honora

[curtisd]

I have found the actual death date and burial date before ordering the certificate.


02 February 1865 & 06 February 1865.

Is it likely the GRO one from that date would have a maiden name?

[curtisd]

She was alive in 1861. Listed as Norah Marlow, widow, 64, former laundress, still at Hunt's Place, Nottingham. A young couple, George & Dorthey (sic) Walker were with her.
Possible death registration 1865 Nottingham, Honora Marlow. Age at death recorded as 69.
Other variations on the name Honora: Honor, Honour, Honoria, Hanora, Hannah, Ann. Annie. I have 2 in my family and they were recorded with all those names over the course of their lives.

Thank you for the name variation suggestions. Below appears to be the couples marriage? I don't know if they are relatives.

See other reply for the death and burial date I found. I can also order a burial certificate from somewhere so I'm hoping for a maiden name.

Simple answer is no - English death certificates simply stated name of individual, when/where they died, cause of death, and name of the informant of the death.

I received this from the burial report:

Sarah Smart
26 March 1874
Unrecorded
Sarah Smart
25 October 1868
Unrecorded

Honora Marlow
06 February 1865
02 February 1865

Henry Marlow
25 October 1857
22 October 1857 

Those are the death and burial dates. The only Smart family I have it a Mary Smart who married one of my Marlow ancestors so unsure if this is a relation? Henry Marlow is most likely the same Henry who was her son.

I might start ordering a few certificates which I don't have anyway to get a more information for my tree.

Thank you for answering. I won't order until I need them. Still searching, maybe I'll find something.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

Oxhill is near where John Stephen Marlow was born (Northampton). The surname matches the marriage she was a witness to, possible sister.

[Maiden Stone]

So Honora may not have been born in Cork after all?
Ann Connor, the bride at the marriage in Dublin at which a witness was Honora Marlow may have been her sister or cousin?
John Connor, father of Honora at 1798 baptism in Northamptonshire may also have been in military, like Honora's husband. Britain was at war with France. The United Irishmen sought support from Napoleon's France for their planned uprising. 1798 was the year of rebellions in Ireland, culminating in a French invasion. Extra troops were sent to Ireland from Britain throughout the 1790s to keep order and protect the country against an invading French army. If John Connor was a militiaman or regular soldier he could have been backwards and forwards across the Irish Sea and moving around Ireland and Britain. A number of wives accompanied their husbands.  Honora may have been mistaken about her place of birth. Cork may have been the first place she remembered living in.
 Do you know the name of John Marlow's regiment? His father may have been in same regiment as Honora's father. Were there regiments stationed near Oxhill in 1798?

[curtisd]

It isn't certain yet but there was two records for Stephen William Marlow. One in England and One in Ireland. So it could be the same thing, with two records? Maybe she was baptised as well in England like Stephen William Marlow.

Yes, could be a sister or cousin?

The French occupation of Malta lasted from 1798 to 1800 which was the same period. My connection on Marlow goes Malta if that helps?

Royal Marines Sergeant was listed for John Stephen Marlow,  I believe? Then Greenwich Pensioner in Portsmouth.
