Samuel John Hooper born 1868 Plymouth, Devon. Parents John And Jane Poad. Although Samuel was born in Plymouth his parents came from St Dominick Cornwall, Samuel was taken back there to live. He was single in 1901 but by 1911 he was a widower living with his parents. The census said he had married 4 years ago.
I have tried FreeBMD, found a marriage in 1908 between Florence Minnie Woodward and a Samuel John Hooper but no death for Florence Minnie.
Any help would be appreciated,

1901 - Samuel J is already a widower aged 32 - "Singles" are noted by the letter S. I believe that Ada O is probably his daughter.

Thank you Bumble and Ray,
Yes I found the correct marriage to Bessie Hocking, but you have given me the burial and a baptism. Thought Bessie may of died in childbirth but Ada was born in 1895. All very sad, no age 28.
