Lincolnshire Marriage?

[chempat]

Have you got the death certificates for Ethel and her parents, to see if any further information to be gained?

[larkspur]

Surely if her death is the one in Stamford in Dec 1922 and she was a married woman, she would not have been registered under her maiden name.

Then there was this couple

Marriages Jun 1891
BLOW    Charles Mapleston        Lincoln    7a   1011   
MAPLESTON    Emma Gertrude        Lincoln    7a   1011

Both aged 43 in 1911.

Hi

The answer to your first two questions Chempat is yes, that is the family and the death to which I was referring; and no I haven't got any death certs.

To Larkspur  - I agree if married, you would expect to find her death under a married name, I appreciate it would be the legal name, but I am not even sure if the Ethel with Charles Mapleston on the 1891 census, is Ethel Blow - that is what I am trying to establish.

The name was right, age was about right, there was a family connection between the Blows and Maplestons', it's the age diff., the term 'wife' and the fact I cannot find either of them together or apart,  after 1891 that is bugging me.

To Geoff - the Emma Gertrude and Charles you found are another part of the family, and I have all the relevant details for them, but thankyou.

I guess a death cert is the only way I'll find out if I even have that correct.

So many times when I haven't been able to see that "wood for the trees", one of you has come up with an answer so blatently obvious I should have fallen over it!

Many thanks to all

Would be the couple in Lancashire on the 1881 census.
Sorry didn't manage to shorten the link 

[Mabel Bagshawe]

The 1865 marriage is a different chap b 1838 and can be followed in later censuses still with his wife in Lancashire. He was an accountant

Hi Larkspur

No reason they would be in Lancashire that I can think of.  Very much all Lincoln based until we come forward to the 1940/1950s

I was trying to point out that the Lancashire couple were Charles and EMMA. So would not be the Ethel you are looking for.
I think you need to send for the death certificate of Ethel Blow, and that hopefully should clear things up, if she is yours. You may be looking for a marriage that never existed.....
