Hi Again, Requesting again, if anyone is able and willing to go and have a look/research at the relevant records PL 3 / 7 at Hampshire records offices, on the records for Droxford Union Workhouse, for any mention of Margaret Glasgo, and her daughter Patricia please.

The next time she appears is on her marriage certificate Details are: Margaret Agnes Rose Glasgo,age 28 years, Spinster, Occupation Nurse, married Charles Henry Poffley, Age 24 years, Bachelor, Occupation Railway Porter S.E.& C. Railway 26th March 1913 Dartford Registry office Kent.

How confident are you on the end digit '8' of Margaret's age at marriage?  I see that in the FindMyPast index to the 1939 pre-war register Margaret L.A. POFFLEY's birth year is given as 1897 and Charles C. POFFLEY's 1889, both in the same household in Malling R.D. Kent.  I've not 'unlocked' the household as there is a fee involved, but, if transcribed accurately, it seems they had a memory lapse on the details they provided at marriage!



Hi dee-jay,
Thanks for taking a look, here is the transcript of the 1939 record:
Margaret L A Poffley 28 Oct 1897   Female   House Duties Unpaid   Married   41   2   
Charles C   Poffley   16 May 1889   Male   Barrack Labourer (R A S E)   Married   41   1


The details i provided are from a marriage certificate, so yes there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy/untold truths (lying) there.
Also the transcription on the 1939 census record is also wrong, as in the original image that i just purchased, (i'm not sure if i can post it on here?) it says Margaret A Poffley. And the Date is wrong too, its actually 28th Oct 1887

PM sent! I've included direct contact info for a grandchild of Ethel Humphrys Spurrell Seers Poffley, as she seems to have been. :)

Hopefully, one of her grandchildren will remember your great-grandfather and have information that would at least lead to finding out where he is buried.

Hi again,
PM received, and again many thanks for the fantastic info that you have found out.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi Flintlock

Plymouth council have cemetery and crematoria information here

http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/homepage/communityandliving/deathandbereavement/cemeteriesandcrematoria.htm

and a search form here

http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/grave_search.pdf

It looks like they make a charge for look-ups as a lot of local authorities now do.

I would suggest looking on a map and seeing which cemetery/crematorium might be closest to the last address on the death cert. If you haven't got the death cert, you'll need it to make an application to the council. There are just too many deaths per quarter for them to randomly look through their records.

Hope this helps.

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

Thank you for that info, i will certainly have a look at those links.

Regards,

Hi JaneyCanuck,

Many thanks for replying to my post, i think that what you have found out is fantastic, and many thanks to you.
I think that very soon, i will have to get Ethel and Charles Henry's Marriage certificates, and both there death certificates too, to help tie up some of the mystery of why they were so far from there homes when they died. Perhaps its just a simple fact that they retired to the west country maybe?.
I have been through some of the online databases of burial sites, but cannot trace where they were Buried/cremated.
I would like to be able to visit the cemetery or resting place of them both sometime, if the information could be found out.

Many, Many thanks in anticipation of anything you can find out.
