Can any one help re death certificate.

[groom]

So she was still married in 1911 although he wasn't with her, which only gives a window of 3 years. Did he come from Ireland, is there a chance he left her and went back there I wonder, in which case was the second marriage legal? That could explain why she would never talk about her previous life.

It was a tailor, Mo.

Not sure where he came from groom......and I am beginning to wonder too if her marriage to my granddad was legal,  after what I'm finding out about her life.  I didn't know nothing about her 1st marriage till I found my granddads military records on Ancestry,  and it showed a Robert Hornby Cahill as his stepson,  and I re searched from there and found out about her previous marriage.

And here was I hoping he may have been a Sailor/Mariner - so died at sea.      Very odd as I can`t find him back in Ireland either.  Just a thought .....  are you sure it said Tailor and not Sailor?

I thought it said Sailor at first,  but the great granddaughter of my grandmas  illegitimate daughter, said it says Tailor, not sailor.  On David Cahill's and my grandmas son-Robert Hornby Cahill's birth certificate, it says fathers occupation tailor or sailor (journeyman) and on Robert's marriage says same.

[groom]

On David Cahill's and my grandmas son-Robert Hornby Cahill's birth certificate, it says fathers occupation tailor or sailor (journeyman)

If it says journeyman i.e. a trained worker who is employed by someone else, that is more likely to be a tailor.

What was the name of David's father, his father's occupation & who were the witnesses?

This may hold some clues?

Annie

I can't find a birth certificate for David, but i'll check again on their witnesses Annie.  Also when David and grandma registered their son Robert,  it said Robert was born Matshead Bilsborough  and that's where they were living at the time, area where grandma came from.

I'v sent for David and grandmas marriage certificate Annie.  The witnesses were Thomas Bamber and Agnes McKeran.  Myself and my cousins daughter are interested what happened to David,  if he died in 1913 and if so how.
