I don't think this has been covered in the original thread , but apologies if I've missed it.

Leominster News and North West Herefordshire and Radnorshire Advertiser 5 July 1907

Before dying in hospital as a result of throwing herself into the River Lea , Margaret Bouchard , a single woman aged 72 , of London Fields said she was worried and tired of life. William Solen , aged 73 , said at the inquest at Hackney , when a verdict of Suicide while Insane was returned , that she had lived with him since 1857. The outdoor relief which they had received for two years was to be stopped as they were not married. He earned 2s or 2s and 6 pence per week and their rent was 2s and 6pence . The woman had been much depressed and dreaded the Workhouse.

I dont remember coming on here before and doing a post. Have been on so many sites though, hard to keep track of them all.

There must have been a reason why Margaret Bouchard and William Solen didn't marry, it states Margaret was a single woman so perhaps William was married before he set up home with Margaret
circa 1857

Hi all
Yet again i lost trace of this site. I am now going to bookmark it.
With the help on another site, I can confirm that William and Margaret didn't marry. (Not sure if I did say this before when on here) I have a newspaper cutting of the trial of Margaret Bouchards suicide attempt, in it William states they never married.

I have been to family history events and trying to get information on how to find Williams records prior to the census's. His birth certificate is untraceable, maybe because prior to 1837. Was told to go through parish records for a baptism. That is now my next job. Sit in the archives for a day and see if I can find anything on him there. Just need to find the time to get there now.

They must be someone out there somewhere who is related to William and know his history, parents etc. How can there be no trace, its baffling. William and Margaret are my Gt Gt Grandparents and i'd love to get just one bit of info on Williams history
