For some reasons I have Francis Robert's birth as 23rd September 1867, but I don't know where I got that from. Poor record keeping on my part ☹️

Oh dear. Our Robert Francis Parsons had father by the name Samuel, deceased, train driver. The marriage certificate for the one in 1926 has a father George, a stonemason. Unless Robert was telling fibs on his second marriage, it's not him.

Thank you both. OK, marriage certificate hopefully here by the end of the week. If that doesn't help, would that possible. Death certificate in 1933 in Poole be helpful?

We have just ordered that marriage certificate to see if it gives us any clues. Would I be right in saying that he will have signed the 1911 census himself and also we will see his signature on the marriage certificate? If yes, then a match might be helpful?

Hi Rosie - thank you - no its not him - we have seen this death certificate and he is down as a Coal Porter and dying in Islington workhouse. That same gentleman is in the workhouse in 1911, whilst our Francis is at home with AliceHe served in WW1 but was discharged 1916 no longer medically fit.
There is a Francis Parsons on the 1939 register in Islington that would fit that 1948 death. Possibly this person
Births Dec qtr 1867
Parsons Francis
Islington 1b 247
Sorry I am confused.
You have the death certificate that states he was a coal porter. The 1911 Islington workhouse Francis has that occupation and when he appears on the 1939 register he has retired. I have suggested that it is not your Francis who died in 1948 but the one showing in the workhouse 1911 and later but you are saying that is not right. Have I got that wrong.
This is what I have. In the 1911 census, we have:
a) Our Francis Parsons living with Alice and children
b) Francis Parsons - a coal porter living in Islington workhouse
The Francis Parsons you have as dying in 1948 has him described as a coal porter on his death certificate and dying in Islington workhouse
Hence, the one you found dying in 1948 is b), not a)
Hope that makes sense ??

Hmmm - this one looks interesting. Thank you
Have you eliminated this one
Death Jun qtr 1933
Parsons Francis Robert
age 65
Bournemouth 2b 785
If he had left then c1920 there is a good chance that his wife would not know if he had died. I will see what else I can find on this
