Hi Wendy,
Charle's occupation on birth certificate was Wood Turner. My cousin and I think he must have worked at Skelton's which was in Sheaf Bank. They made gardening tools and shovels, picks and that sort of thing, so he must have made the handles for these sort of tools.
On his death cert if gives his occupation as Spade Shaft Maker, and he died of TB.
Many thanks for offer to help when I get certificate of marriage.
I had also tried to find Annie Prince earlier. The only clue I found was in 1881 (I think) a married lady living with husband in Salford and I think there were children. It wasn't Charles Poole and she was Annie Prince. I wonder if they 'ran off together' whilst he was in the army. Or am I being fanciful.
Perhaps the marriage I found in Liverpool is not theirs!!
Margaret
PS On Charle's death cert his brother Thos Poole was present at death. His address is Prospect Road, Heeley which is not far from Sheaf Bank.
