The informant on Philips death certificate is really had to read - I can just make out 26 Union St, Canal Walk, Southampton On the 1891 census it does state that he is a widower - so maybe the informant is from the poor house!!! |

1891 says Married, not Widower. Compare to the ones above :) You're probably right about the informant though, if he was still at the Poor House in 1897. |

Yes you're right Tracy - read that completely wrong thought it was a ditto not a M. If as I thought that Christiana his wife had died in 1859 - wonder if there was a second marriage now!!! He would have only been 41 yrs when she died - so not to be ruled out. |

For Ozibird and Tracy - I think I might have got a solution. Philip Domm was married to Christiana - she died in Steyning in 1859. In 1862 Philip Domm marries Catherine Payne - they have two children Catherine and Stephen - but both die in 1866 aged 2 and 4. Still can't find Philip on 1861 census but think he was in Steyning, Sussex. Catherine Domm died in June 1915 in Steyning Philip Domm died in Southampton in 1897 - that's why he still stated as married. - Not bad for an evenings work - Thanks again for your help. Clare |
