I'm looking for details on Margaret Ann Peel who married Francis Henry Banford (date?) in Australia. I can see there's a death for a Margaret Ann Banford in 1938 in Australia, but can't see the details. Wonder if it's the same person. She's also apparently on electoral rolls in the early 1900s.

I have her travelling back to England with her husband in 1919 (where her YOB is given as 1877 but I don't know where), but she disappears after that. Rumours in our family were that she didn't like England and left her husband and went back to Australia, but it's all a bit vague.

Any details on birth, marriage, death greatly appreciated, with many thanks!

Wow, thank you both so much. We all wondered whether she was actually Australian or British, but I guess she was Australian.

Thanks again!!

States the same grave as Ann "wife of James"........ I find that really moving that after all those years that mother and child are reunited.

It also states that James was buried with them on 8th Jan 1927
