What brought this about - 9 years later !!      Oh I see, the other thread's been resurrected.  Wow.  After so long.


I lost access to my Lourdes96 account and back in 2012, computer and especially internet were new technologies!

WORKMAN    Charles R M   age  65   in Caistor   volume  7a     page  1034

Thank you Carol8353,

I really want to pay for his death certificate but we are not yet up to the banking system to do that with credit cards, visa..etc.

Is there a possibility I can get the certificate through Western Union payment transfer?

Sorry to bother you but I would appreciate any assistance.

Pleasant day!

Charles Rufus Marshall Workman of Owmby Mount, Owmby, Grasby, Lincolnshire;  died 28 June 1942.
Probate granted to Elizabeth Florence Waring Wintringham, spinster. Effects  £854 1s 7d.

The CRMW living at that address in 1939 was described as "Colonial Service (retired)"

Elizabeth WINTRINGHAM was also at that address, possibly with her father, a John WINTRINGHAM (solicitor). She became Mrs NEALE in 1943.

Thanks Geoff-E

I'm not sure but I feel that the right date of Charles Rufus Marshall Workman was 6th July 1942 as in the previous posts. Was there a possibility that death dates could be entered wrongly?

Not unless the probate and newspaper announcement were wrong !!!!!!!!!!


Thanks Sandra.

C.R.M.W. married Kate Wintringham in 1900 - anyone got a death date for her? Did he marry a second time? Have I missed something? Who was the mother of the child raised by the priest? PM


Hi Pastmagic,


Charles Rufus.Marshall Workman did not marry a second time. It was even forbidden to have an intimate relationship with the locals (brown or black people)!

However, he did ask the French Priest on the island to look after his unborn child before he left (that's what the priest claimed when he came to my great-granma's mother and grandparents to take her away)!

My great grandma was then looked after by this French Priest and nuns since she was just 5 years old! She was educated at the Catholic school along with the other white children!

They said that local children in those days were not allowed to attend school!

Thank you very much again Sandra.

You have guided me well and now it's only a matter to actually talk or meet them...I mean her son and grandchildren. However, I'm afraid whether they want to know us!

I deeply appreciate your kind assistance.

The children of Katherine and Benjamin are hopefully living people which unfortunately we cannot help you with on here.  Try Google and Canada 411 and sites like those to try and locate.

Sandra

Added Son born 1934 probably still living.

Thank you Sandra!

Really appreciate your kind assistance.

I'm at the far end of the world in the Pacific and it's very hard for me to get information so thank you very much.

Knowing we have relatives in Canada is relieving! I'll try to dig more for information.

Pleasant day!

Thanks Carol8353,

My ancestor Charles Rufus Marshall Workman died in July 1942 aged 65.

I believe he was survived with children whom I'm looking for this time. I'm not after his possessions but very interested to find out about those I'm related to by blood!

Thanks for your advice.
