George Nesbitt Todd and Mary Anne Trainer/Hillary

[wilrob]

Hi

George N Todd was born 1841 Tynemouth he married in 1866 to Mary Anne Trainer b1846 Northern Ireland.
In the 1871 census Mary Anne is with her sons age 4 and 2, George is not there
In the 1881 census Mary Anne is with Christopher Hillery/Hillary as married.
I cannot find a death for George and i cannot find a marriage for Mary Anne and Christopher,Mary Anne died before 1911 there is a death in 1906 but its wrong one as that MaryAnne spouse is someone different.
Could some fresh eyes take a look please TIA x

There was a son Sidney Nesbit Todd born Gateshead !st quarter 1873.

The next son shown in 1881 appears to be David Hillary, born Gateshead 4th q. 1874

Thanks Jen that narrows down Georges death x

It looks like Mary Ann Hillery died in 1909. The burial is on the index on Durham Records Online. Her address was Cameron Road, which is where Christopher Hillery was living in 1911.

If Christopher and Mary Ann didn't marry then it is more likely that George sailed off into the sunset.

Mary Ann, dearly beloved wife of Christopher Hillery, who died Broughton. September 29th, 1909 —Forever remembered her loving husband. The blow hard, the shock severe.....
