Find Ancestors

yes i had thought that perhaps they married but there are a couple of censi later where my charles is missing that he appears with amelia but i checked a death for her and she died 1898. i have looked at marriages for him but none of them that i have found looks like they died before he remarried i suppose it could have been a bigamous marriage though.

thanks to both of you for your help i really appreciate it.

This is the first marriage i can find.... but these 2 may not have actually married each other, there are 2 people missing off the 'group'

Marriages Sep 1872

Gannaway Charles Southampton 2c 76a
GROSS Amelia Southampton 2c 76a

But it could well be his first marriage!

thanks soph,

not sure where else to look. i have sydneys mc in 1919 and it doesnot state on there that his father was deceased, although i beleive they didn't have to did they? however his wifes father wqas deceased and she put it down so i would have expected him to say his father was deceased as well.

Births Sep 1850

Gannaway Charles Southampton 7 221

she dies in 1897 aged 38. on the certificate she is stated as "wife of Charles Gannaway- a beer house keeper" first mention of a beer house, on sydneys bc he is down as ship steward. in 1901 children are all split up in census. frank and syd in southampton with mary gannaway who is stated as mother , but i think its them due to ges pob and we beleive charles remarried after emily. harry is an apprenticed jeweler in lambeth. beatrice is down as Beattie ganaway in a girls home and vi is in surbiton with her mothers sister who is louisa burton.

Leanne,

Although he does not appear in later census's have you checked the others too see when or if his wife states herself to be a widow?

sorry the children's names were Harry 1886, beatrice and violet (c.1890) Sydney 1891 and Frank R 1895. if this helps at all. i also know from his mc to emily that he was a widower but cannot find his first marriage with a death of the wife before 1885. thanks,
Lee.

hi all,

i am looking for the death of Charles Gannaway. he was born in 1850 in Hampshire. he married Emily Constance Plummer in 1885 and they had five children. he was a ship steward, and other than the 51 and 61 census he never appears on it as far as i can see. certainly not with emily and the children.

i would like to find a death record for him as he seems to simply disappear. in 1915 when his son joined up for ww1 charles was living at red cliff, bournemouth. and in 1917 when his other son died the record on CWGC shows he was living durlston house, swanage. any help to find him on census or death record would be great.

thanks,
Leanne.
