Septimus Coulton

My only reason for saying this thread should be on the Westmorland board was that anyone else who has researched this name will be on there or there will be researchers on that board with specialist knowledge of the South Westmorland area.  It's a matter of posting in the right place at the right time.  Mind you, the response has been pretty good so far. Good luck

Sorry.  I should have noticed it was on the wrong board.  I was too involved in the hunt.  Very good result!
I will move it now.

Thanks, Andrea,

I hope this appeases those who highlighted the apparent error of my ways and perhaps it will bring in yet more information.

I am grateful to you. Thank you.

To, suzard re: message 25

There is a death for William Henry Smith registered at Basford 7b 140 also in Jun Qtr 1899 the same Qtr as his marriage to Sarah Carter. Could it be him and a tragic early end to their marriage? And another in Burnley Sep Qtr 1899 8e 111.

However, if either of those ultimately prove to be correct why didn't Sarah marry Septimus until 1916?!!

The 1899 death reg Basford dist will not be the william henry smith married to Sarah as he  was still living at the time of the 1901 & 1911 census
He was in Shardlow reg district. It is a very common name so will be difficult to find the correct one, especially as he worked for the Railway company -he could have gone anywhere in the country
There are several "possibles" between 1911 -1916 - but it is not certain he died before Sarah remarried
