Hi Marj and Mary,
Could this be Williams death in Poole
William Thornhill Oct-Nov-Dec 1863
Vol 5a Page 500
It doesnt give age at death which is a shame.

Hi Mum44
Thank you, I would be grateful if you could check children for me.
I have done some marriages for them
Herbert William Thornhill married Phebe Sarah in 1892
Frederick James married Kate in 1894
Frederick died in 1900 so Kate would be a widow aged about 29 and she was b.poole.
Thanks again for your help

Mary

Well ??? ??? ???
Not exactly a success, I have to say!
Ada Thornhill married Q3 1885 Poole.
to either Thomas Butcher or Joseph James Watkins.
I cannot find Ada in any guise on the 1891.
However, in 1901
Rg13 P. 1979 Fol. 124 Pg. 18
Living at 95 Lagland Street, Poole
Ada Butcher Head Wid 32 Laundress B. Dorset Poole
Annie P Butcher Dau 15 B. Dorset Poole
Lily Butcher Dau 14 B. Dorset Poole
Annie Prescilla Butcher birth reg. Q4. 1885 Poole
Lily Clara Butcher birth reg. Q3 1888 Poole
Thomas Butcher death reg. Q4 1899 Poole, age 34
But I can't find any of them in 1891 - I've tried no surname, no first name, no year of birth - I can't find them. So apart from his name and approx. date of birth, I don't know anything about Thomas!
Annie Thornhill married Q1 1900 Poole
Either John Evans Durston or George Miles
I can't find Annie in any guide in 1901 ???
The other lady on the page was Bessie Strickland, and I found a John E Durston b. 1880 married to Bessie B. 1882 Poole
So I guess Annie marred George Miles - but they can't be found in 1901.
I'm afraid that's the best I can do, Marj - maybe someone can find them for you!
