So that we all know is this Probate record correct?

Think the Probate record for Frederick Squires 1900 died Brest, France is almost certainly correct.

Looks like the couple departed England immediately after their marriage - they appear to have had 2 sons born in Brest:

Frederick Squires b.1871-1875 Brest
James Palmer Squires b.1881-1885 (or 1886-1890)

This is from the Consular Birth Indices for British National Born Overseas - unfortunately, these indexes don't state the specific year but believe that the one for Frederick is 1873.   At first I thought there had been 2 sons named James Palmer (first one having died) as there are 2 entries as shown above.   However, looking at original index pages the earlier one has his name obviously added later as has been squeezed in and has the same page number as the later entry.

I think that the son Frederick married in Brest in 1901-1905 possibly to a Jeanne Marie Barrois (who shares the same page number) and that he died there 1936-1940.

Can see nothing further for the other son James Palmer Squires or what happened to Josephine Ann after her husbands death in 1900 either in France or England.

Hi again all, would really like to see how Ann Catt who married William Woodin 1844 legally married Joseph Palmer, the children of William & Ann as already located were with their Catt Grandparents in 1851 HO107/1506/179/17
Is Ann therefore the married Ann WOODING 29 occ Nurse b Hackney in Hanover Square in 1851 census HO107/1477/127/20?

PS the Jessie Sarah Ann Palmer was born March qtr 1864 Saffron Walden, mmn Catt, she married William Stephen Gray and gives Debden as her pob throughout.
