9 Holmfield Avenue , Bournemouth C.B., Hampshire
Dorothy M Ward 06 Jul 1891 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Frank Ward 03 Jul 1877 Male Railway Clerk Supervisor Retired Married

Chris I eventually found her !! Mrs F ward was in fact Dorothy Margareita Wood, who married a Frank Ward in 1936 in Bournmouth , , took a while but I got there , lol x

(and an outside chance of an F Ward being in Bournemouth 1939, brings quite a few, unfortunately!, male and female)

Chris :)

(from that list (below) 1937 are they in order of daughters born?)

Edits (7 Daughters were, Miss M. Wood. (St. Leonards) Mrs. Pails, Mrs. C.V.Taylor, Mrs. F. Ward (Bournemouth) Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Baker and Miss B. Wood)

Yes maddie they are all mine, Joseph married Elizabeth Slayter , but I think the spelling for Slayter changed over the years x

DEARLOVE, ELIZABETH ESTHER SLATER Order
GRO Reference: 1854 J Quarter in NEWPORT PAGNEL UNION Volume 03A Page 461

On her baptism record 1869 it says dad Joseph a soldier.
No sign of him 1861 but there is this
28,Regiment
Crimean War Corporal
Joseph Dearlove dies in camp 18/6/1855.

1871 Looks like like Elizabeth Dearlove mother of Elizabeth Esther and Sarah is a widow? so maybe Joseph wasn't the father of Sarah Ellen, could that be the reason I can't find Sarah's birth record??

No problem Chris , will go back and have another look, have been checking that and family search, maybe there is something I'm missing.. Hope you get your room cleared out with no more interruptions lol.. Thank you x

(busy clearing a room! at present, only came on earlier, for 'sandwich break' lol, regarding your below post)...

, could I ask one more favour of you please? One of the daughters is Mrs F Ward.. That would be Francis Elsie Wood, I have her down as marrying a Lewis George Baker in 1921 Rugby could you double check this out for me please, I have all the other marriages correct, but this one has thrown me, unless she remarried . Thanks


(have you looked around on below, what about Will for Joseph (details posted above) is there no mention on there?)

(above for ordering Wills)

Thank for that Mary I never relised, should of though as such a big age gap between her and her sister x

She wasn't born 1869 she was baptised 1869 by Joseph Dearlove a soldier and Elizabeth
on her marriage record in 1884 she was 28 = 1856.

Early census record has her born @ 1856 her sister Elizabeth Esther 1854.

Elizabeth Esther married Dec 1876 and Sarah Ellen was a witness.

I can't find the birth record for Sarah Ellen.

Maryb.

I think the Sarah Ellen that maddie found is my Sarah and they have the birth year wrong, as everything seems to tie in with family members buried there and the acknowledged from Joseph Cooper and family x

Thanks Chris , the plot thickens I will keep looking, could I ask one more favour of you please? One of the daughters is Mrs F Ward.. That would be Francis Elsie Wood, I have her down as marrying a Lewis George Baker in 1921 Rugby could you double check this out for me please, I have all the other marriages correct, but this one has thrown me, unless she remarried . Thanks

(see 1924 news item just added above)

Chris :)

here is the 2nd marriage

Name: Joseph C Wood
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1927
Registration district: Rugby
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Spouse: Kate L Morris
Volume Number: 6d
Page Number: 1911

the obiturary above has no mention of a wife so she must have died before 1927

Yes Chris that is him, and that is his daughters.. So it appears that he did remarry . So I'm presuming because we can't find a death for Sarah that she must of remarried too ..its just finding who to..
Thank you for the probate record maddie x
