How marvellous.

Much more interesting than having a family tree peopled by Cordwainers, Iron puddlers and the like.

I am sure your mother will get over it ........lol

The above gent is my Great grandfather born 1861 in Braughing Hertfordshire. He married Emily Fanny Cook on 3.10.1889 in Braughing.
They had three children...Emily(1890)....Alfred John(1893)....and Flory(1895).
By 1901 census Charles was widowed but my father thinks that he remarried.
Is it possible for someone to check this out and possibly find the date of his death?

Many thanks....Tim
