William Harris of Deal

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Given Samuel and Charlotte weren't married, it doesn;t necessarily follow that he died before she got with Richard Crickett. They could just have split up.

Charlotte's "widow" status might not have been the truth either - I haven't found a death for George Lill

From St Andrew's records:
27 Feb 1882 Richard Wraight CRICKETT Widower Chimney Sweep 46 of Deal, s/o John Crivkett Labourer
married Charlotte LILL Widow of Deal 34 d/o John Luxton Gardener

Another entry shows 19 June 1876 Richard Wraight CRICKETT Widower Chiney Sweep of Water Street aged 41, s/o John Crickett, deceased marrying
Esther Elizabeth RAY 35 Widow Servant of Water Street d/o john Clitheroe deceased.

Many thanks for the further replies.
Can anyone trace Samuel Harris's death anytime after 1882,I cannot seem to find a record ?

[rosie99]

I still cannot trace him in the 1901 census ??

From FindMyPast Missing census

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census
The 1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census was taken on 31 March and gave the total population as 36,967,126.

The village of Deal in Kent is missing in its entirety from the 1901 census. There are no known copies available.
