John Henry Sheen born Q3 1866 Greenwich

[Cockneyrebel]

Hello Sandra, your research once again is excellent and most appealing. I did look at the 1st one on Anc originally but ruled it out as there was not enough detail given. It would appear that he emigrated as you say and married there.
I wonder what happened to his 1st wife Gertrude and the children?

Regarding John's gravestone in 1933, Sandra, where did you obtain his details?
Looks like the Military attestation was mightily wrong!

Nothing other than it being a namesake to prove it was your man, is there?

Well done again to Sandra for the amazing finds.

On Gertrude, a faint possibility in Lewisham in 1901?

Gertrude Couchman Wife 32 Millwall London
Ellen Couchman Daur 4 Blackheath London

Ellen's place of birth isn't quite right though.
Mention them as I can't see anything else at the moment. Nor can I see a marriage for those two, or an obvious birth for Ellen.
A death of a Gertrude Couchman in Lewisham, March qtr 1902, age 33.

It is true that without the marriage certificate of John Henry Sheen and Gertrude Carter we can't be sure who either of them are! They are certainly a mystery in any case.

I guess jonw65 I'll have to get the marriage certificate for John & Gertrude to see if it will enlighten us.

Yes, Sandra, I can see the gravestone photo but not the details about him?
I've ordered the marriage cert for John and Gertrude.
