Hello Janette - were there no possible previous marriages coming up for Lily Burgum?

There's also a chance they may not actually have been married.

Looks like Burgum is her maiden name:

Have to say Margee, your g-grandfather wins Movember hands down :-)

Maybe??

Re: the 1911 arrival in Australia - above.

That lady was Lilian Burgum (a domestic) when she left Liverpool. She was with a Timothy Burgum, a blacksmith.

This would be them on the 1911, in Gloucestershire:
BURGUM, Timothy Head Widower M 68 1843 Blacksmith Little Dean Parish in The
BURGUM, Lilian Daughter Single F 26 1885 County of Gloucestershire

So, I reckon we can eliminate them.

Ashforth William 21 Sheffield 9c 293

Hey Jude! Never thought of gt. grandad being a Movember canditate. He would be in the winner's circle, wouldn't he?

Yes Prickles - saw this - black widow maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does that mean william ashforth married and died the same year 1884 thanks

Janette - it is possible. The only way of being sure would be to purchase both certificates

Margee - absolutely!!

ok thank you every one

It all seems to fit Janette........... :-)
