Missing death - Ben Gomersal
« on: Monday 03 July 17 08:25 BST (UK) »
Hi.

Ben Gomersal married Nancy Barrow 28 Sept 1878 on Prestwich.

He is Benj in 1881 census with one child Violetta

1891 census, ELLEN is widow with Violeta (4...) and Charles 2

No sign of a Ben Gomersal in deaths anywhere.

Plenty of scope for spelling errors/alternatives....

Any help much appreciated.

Phil

Thank you

Thank you for both of these.

I cannot find a death for Nancy, nor a re-marriage....

Brilliant stuff. Not sure if I have access to US census.

Interesting that William born in England 1895!

Waa completely caught out thinking Nancy was a widow in 1881.....

Thank you all - great find!!!
