Think i will have to have to get a copy of that marrage cert of 1906 to see what it says

At the moment, I think that is your best bet, although the only problem is that if he was still married he is hardly likely to have said so! However, as I said earlier, having had one marriage declared illegal I wouldn't have thought he would have risked the same happening to his second marriage to Mary.

He'd be daft to do it I agree :) But as i cant find a death of Margaret so he could marry 'again'  i am going to have to guess she died abroad possibly?

Thanks for everyone's thoughts :)

The only way he could have married Mary after her divorce is if he was a widower or divorcee - what does the 1906 marriage cert say about his marital status

I would have guess so, but he did marry her in 1902 in Doncaster, when at least i know mary was still married to John, but thats my delema, I cant find a death for Margaret in 1901/2 or a divource in that time either.  I dont have the marrage cert so i dont know what it says about his marrital status.

Isobel is my nan, thats her father,  He died in Delhi in 1908 of sunstroke.

I havent been able to find any divource for William and Margaret, or her death at that time.  I have looked at the marrage notice him and Mary in 1906, and note that she is mentioned twice once as Mary Bell and Mary Wilkinson her maiden name.  I dont recall any mention about his marital status in the divource papers Just when it all started. I can only surmise that he remarried Mary again in 1906 because she was at least still married to her former husband John in 1902, which would have made the marrage between her and William null and void.

The marrage in 1902 is mentioned in the divource papers. Its possible the one you have found in Leeds is a legit, as the divource papers where filed in 1905 by Mary's Husband John Bell.

Its what happend to Margaret that i am more interested in as i am unable to trace her after 1901.

Durham / dead end - Margaret Tench nee Kellet

I have come to a frustrating dead end, I am trying to research  my Great Grandmother.
(bit of background)
She was born Margaret Kellet on 29th June 1850 in Sherburn Hill Durham
Married William Revelly Tench March 1871, and had 11 children my nan being one of them.  She lived in Garston Lancester in 1891 where my Nan was born. Nan was told her mother died when she was aged around 2 (1894 ish) however I found Margaret living with her bother in law and wife in Winlaton Durham in 1901 and her status was married.

That is as far as i can go, I cannot find a death for her under the name of Tench, and i have tried to see if she remarried  later in life but found nothing, I wondered if she moved abroad with one of her older children, possibly Alfred who i believe moved to Africa, If she did how would I find out? Is there anyone else on here that are researching the Tench's that might be able to shed some light on what happend to her?

Thanks

Hi Pat

I posted a request for help finding William R Tench's grave on Roots, I have had a reply, stating that he died of sunstoke, and they have given me a reference and advised that i looked at the national archives Afria and Asia section.  I have emailed nationa archives to see if they can help.  I will let you know if they are able to help/what they find.
