Henry - did he marry? And where is he on the census.

?

Maybe he died young - I posted a possible death reg in 1850

If Henry was born 1829 and died 1850, he would have been aged 21 when he died. So I suppose it is reasonable to assume that he didn't marry.

What I would really like are baptisms for James Archer, George Archer and Mary Archer, together with marriage and death references for Mary,

Someone else has been looking at this family:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=246849.0

I think the baptism info is on reply 5 of the middle thread.
James' burial is on the first thread - reply no 1.

rosie17 - I think I have found the marriage of John Gale and Mary Archer - Q3 1873 Whitchurch 2c 357. I think she was his housekeeper/companion, who married him shortly before his death in 1874.

So as far as a death is concerned, we are looking for the death of a Mary GALE, sometime between 1873 and 1930.

It's possible that she remarried in Dec qtr 1874 Whitchurch RD 2c 459 to  a Henry West.

I can see the couple together in Whitchurch in 1881 and 1891 after which they both disappear. 

Possible death for Mary West, Dec qtr 1897 Whitchurch RD (ref 2c 123) aged 69.

It looks possible on paper. My major reservation is the timing. John Gale died Q3 1874 and his wife of only 1 year is marrying again in Q4 1874. What sort of mourning period is this?

Also I am concerned about the age given for Mary West in 1881 of 42, this is the same as given for Mary Archer in 1871. So 10 years without ageing. And still only 50 in 1891.

So not sure, though it would solve the problem of the missing death.
