Kitcatt
« on: Sunday 27 March 22 03:31 BST (UK) »
Hello, this is a bit weird....I tried everything - who are they?

Emily Kitcatt died 9 th April 1915 age 56

Margaret Grace Kitcatt died 14 Dec 1924 age 60

I got their GRO death records, died in Poole, Dorset. I saw the grave where they were buried together.

From the two death certificates that you have -

What addresses on the document please.

What names for informant on each.

What ages on the document.

Do you have an image of the headstone.

They both seem to be wives of George KITCATT (b~ 1856).

1911 has him with wife Emily..

Marriages on FreeBMD:

Kitcatt    George    Smith    Poole    5a   611    

Smith    Margaret G    Kitcatt    Poole    5a   611   

Haven't looked to see what Margaret's maiden name was.

Just for info. The 1921 census has them as KITCALL. :)

Margaret Grace gives place of birth as Manchester. (~1864).

They are indexed as KITCALL in 1921 and Margaret was born in Manchester.  It might be her in Bournemouth in 1911 as an unmarried cook to the TRIMLY family.

Sorry, now mostly repeating  ;D

Hi Debra,

 Gosh-that Margaret Grace SMITH sure looks good!

 I was dreading a search for a Margaret Grace who married a SMITH who had previously been married to an ENTWISTLE (or something annoying like that). :)

Best,
Maureen

Two wives buried together?!  Hm. I don’t have the death certificates. There is no headstones. Just a marble broken frame.

How unusual.  :o

I’ll check out censuses (wonder what I’ve done not finding Emily on 1911)

Thank you for looking

You'll notice on the 1911 that George was "caretaker of cemetery". :)

I saw that! I was amazed.  So he kinds of buried them in his workplace. Poor man. The grave is right opposite the lodge.

He have first wife Annie and have two girls Annie and Alice. I see the girls got married and move away.  They had a month old son Edward. He was buried days before his mother Annie. I bet they were in same place as E and M.

After Annie died in 1894 then G m Emily soon after in 1895, then Emily died in 1915, G m Margaret soon after 1916. That tells you something....

Wonder where was George buried? He died in 1937 in Bournemouth age 82. Kinds of a fit guy being caretaker and fresh air.  I see his grant of probate, lived in Southbourne, a little long way from his wives. Must be a curse living at the lodge and need to get away, poor guy.

The broken grave need to be fixed. It’s eyesore.  :-[
