I downloaded the deaths cert this morning and here are the results:

Patrick Haggarty d 1954
Cause of death: Senility, Gastric Ulcer and Coronary something I cant read.

He was living at 4 Mill Street Milton Regis, Sittingbourne.

Informant was Sophia's daughter from her 1st married May Miriam Breaker nee Skinner.
Listed as step daughter.
His occupation given as Royal navy.

So this quest to find his death has finally been solved!

AG yes in the beginning, I was taken down the wrong route not by anyone on here but by myself given there were 2 Haggertys with similar names.

Now Sophias 1st husband: Charles Edward Skinner
b 1869
d 1926

Aged 57
Add he was living at was 42 Magpie Hall Rd, Chatham.

Death informed by the occupant James Spinks( badly written)

Died from Chronic Bronchitus.

So maybe they were separated/divorced after all when he died?

Just for info:
in 1921 Sophia's sister who was May Miriam Syrett married a Bert Evans. The witnesses were Sophia Skinner and her son Charles Arthur Skinner. So its possible she was separated then as one would have thought her husband would have been the other witness not her son?

Anyway, no matter, Thankyou for all you assistance. I can now do some corrections and get this part of the tree finally sorted.

As for Sophia's death and where she is buried, I need to relook that up.

Oh actually, I did post that earlier, she died in a hospital in Milton Regis but don't know where she is buried..

Agingrocker I have the grave ref:
Section F
Grave 298 (C)

Re the grave details though, it gives his names as
Edward Charles Skinner but the death was registered as Charles e Skinner!

Hope this helps and if you were able to go and find the gravestone, that would be so amazing thankyou for your kind offer.

Ag, yes Clara was born reg as Covelands, they couldnt spell!
In 1901 the census has them in Ashford as lists Clara as 2 months old and says Grandaughter as Hannah was head. There is no father's name of the birth cert.

I do have the death cert somewhere and for some reason, it was registered as Clara Syrett. Sophia's surname is that of "her father" although her mother was not married(long story) Hannah although using the surname of Syrett didn't actually marry Mr Syrett until 1902! Her son Charles Arthur, his father's name was left blank on the birth cert but given Skinner as a 2nd christian name so that when she married he was then known as Charles Arthur Skinner.

The whole of my grandfathers beginning and his parents are all so complicated but now with the deaths I have found, i can now leave this tree in peace or at least these branches of it.

Thanks again for everyones help.

Florence, no luck with the headstone I'm afraid.

I did visit but couldn't find the grave in Section F.

Now I have done a little research, and found a photo of grave F 303, which I assume is 5 graves away from F 298. The photo is basically grass, with a comment saying that particular part of the cemetery had been cleared by the council in the 1980's, and the headstones were destroyed. So I'm afraid there is nothing to photograph.

agingrocker, thankyou so much for having a look.

Oh my goodness, so that means its now just grass where people can walk over?

Crikey, that's very sad not just for me but for all peoples ancestors that were buried there.

Thankyou again for finding this info out, much appreciated
