Alviegal, yes this was a very interesting piece of research into my family tree and I very much appreciate your interest.

I googled Muriels name and ship and that article came up. Almost everything mentioned ties in with what I know already.

But according to a few trees on ancestry the 1901 I posted IS the correct family.

So the 1901 above is not her and her family.

http://www.dannyhowell.net/1996/05/gauntlett-family.html I have just found this online, it explains the sad demise of Mark and his wife Muriel but I hope those of you who have helped me find it of interest as you were spot on.
May they both RIP.

Muriel with her family.

I don't have the marriage cert and I'm on FMP but it just shows the same information I posted originally.

Maybe someone who has FMP could look at this?

Muriel Gauntlett 1901 1953 Circassia BT 334

Hmmm the marriage is down as both names I see now but the numbers are the same so maybe she was married before.

Have you this marriage cert?

Puzzle solved, thanks very much to all of you :-D

O well done Rose.
