Gosh what a muddle! Ty for finding all that.
At the barracks in 1901 it says his father is Charles Milne???That has confused me!
So he was a bit of a "toe rag", leaving Clara, marrying someone else and was he actually married in the first place?
Thankyou AG for your assistance

The 1901 military census record for William clearly records him as SINGLE
He would have required Army permission to marry
|
|
Does the Census identify which Battalion he was serving?
It would make it easier to try to find his service record (which may include marriage details) in the National Archives website

Perhaps they didn't marry? Maybe they had only been together since 1898, and said they were married for respectability.

William and Clara appear to have separated.
In 1911 he's with another "wife" Rosina Frances (formerly Evans; nee Marlow), whom he didn't marry until 1914 - and a "daughter" Lilian.
He's claiming to have been married for 10 years, which isn't true .

Rosina married again in 1927, to William Balch.
Confusingly, Rosina's first marriage was in 1898:
Marriages Sep 1898 (>99%)
Evans Thomas Woolwich 1d 2146
Marlow Rosina Frances Woolwich 1d 2146
But I don't see any marriage for Clara and William.

William G Haggerty b 1878 Kent d 1922
m 1898?
Clara E Appleton
b 1878 Kent
In the 1911 census, Clara is with her parents George & Alice Appleton.
Clara has 2 children
Alice E Haggerty b1899 Dover
Minnie Ada E haggerty b 1901 Woolwich
It shows on the household that Clara is married and gives the year as 1898 but for the life of me I cannot find that marriage. I looked on Genes, Family.search free BMD.
William was a Soldier Gunner Ryl Artillery. on the 1901 census
I tried various spellings of Haggerty/Haggarty/Hagerty/Hagartay but cannot find the marriage.
Anyone able to try and find the marriage for me please
Just for info he was 1 of 5 children. First 3 were born in Gibraltar as his parents were there for 5 years, William and Emily were both born in Kent. But his parents were also born in uk.
