Louisa Isabella Marsh and Augustus Gale

[marcie dean]

She had a sister living in Midhurst whom I believe she stayed with whilst she was getting ready for her marriage to Augustus,  this is only an assumption.

Think I have found a death for Augustus aged 73 3rd Qtr  1935 in Hammersmith Vol 1a Page 185
and a birth date of 4th Qtr Oct-Dec 1859 in Petersfield Vol 2c Page 121

There is also a birth for a Florence Betsy C Gale Born petersfield 4th Qtr Oct-Dec 1882 Vol 2C Page 143 do not know if this is the correct one, but being Petersfield is more likely considering that is where Augustus and Louisa seemed to be.

If this is Augustus (as married to Louisa) who died in Hammersmith, how do you do a census search of the place to find out who he was with.

I still have to find Florence Marriage to Mr. Cross whose christian name I do not know, which may give me an idea of whether he was living with them or not.

What do you think, is this the right way to go.?

Spent some time transfering the information into the tree for my husband
not much more to do.

I found the information I had on one of his cousins and her family, her first born son has married recently 2001.  the other two I still have to research.  I only hope that he appreciates the effort I have made  and all the help you have all given to this, but I doubt it; things just pass him by at the moment.  Recession and all.

Want to spend some time seeing if Augustus remarried and if I can find out about the second child.

I found the death record for Louisa that you details wozzle and also the census which says that Florence was either staying with or living with her grandparents aged 8 kwhich means that she was born in 1883

No sign of Augustus in 1881 or 1891. But I know that someone said that he was around in the 1901 census.  So will refer back to past postings to see.

i think this is the augustus that nell referred to in one of the replies to this topic

I found his parents in Liss with ref: to your earlier posting and made a note of the info I found for the tree.
William And Caroline with his siblings.
so he never remarried?.  He was 11 and it stated he was born in 1860.
I haven't found his other child that barrys uncle said that they had.  This is taking more effort than I at first thought it would.   Have not found Florence marriage either to Mr Cross.  It would help if only I knew his given name.

I gave him 5yrs after she died and started searching for another marriage with no joy.

think there is a strong possibility this could be the elusive mr cross
