William R POOLE Marriage 1910

[avm228]

Well I was completely wrong about William 1891 being the same person as Charles but now that we know better I would have thought it likely that William 1891 died before they apparently had another William (William Thomas) in 1893.

Haven't found a death, though.

This is what is puzzling me avm.  Unless that 1895 death has had the age incorrectly recorded. 

Are there any actual burial records for Wandsworth around anywhere?  Do Anc** have them or should I be looking elsewhere?

[Girl Guide]

I've just done a google for Wandsworth burials and found a list from Wandsworth Cemeteries and Putney Vale Crematorium

There are four burials listed between 1891 and 1898 for the name William Poole.  The burial dates are:-

26.5.1891, 8.1.1895, 25.5.1895 & 13.1.1898

I wonder if any of those are my William?

Whoo hoo, thanks John, absolutely spot on.  31 Ferrier Street is where his parents are living in the 1891 census.

The only death registration that fits that date is this one:-

Deaths Jun 1891   
Poole    William    0    Lambeth    1d   266

But why Lambeth when I would have thought it would be Wandsworth?

[jonw65]

It's a mystery. There was a William Poole birth registered March 91, Lambeth, so he seemed the likelier candidate. But no.
Peering at it closely, I think William was actually buried on the 25th!

[Girl Guide]

Yes it does look like it should be the 25th.  You can just see a faint line for the top of the 5.

This thread has strayed somewhat from the original subject which was to locate the father William Robert Poole baptised on 17th February 1867.

I can't seem to find him on the 1911 so has he been missed off or died between 1901 and 1911?  A search of the deaths on free bmd for William R Poole/Pool comes up with nothing.

In 1901 his occupation is labourer.

I have probably missed it somewhere having just joined this thread but what documentation gives him the middle name Robert - His marriage to Mary Goodman is just William

[Girl Guide]

There is a baptism on 17th February 1867 for William Robert Poole, parents Thomas and Eliza Elizabeth Poole.  Thomas is a Railway Porter.

On the marriage certificate for William's son William Thomas Poole he is referred to as William Robert Poole.

He is down as William R on the 1871 census when he is with his mother and her parents.  I haven't got round to looking for him on the 1881 census.
