Hi everyone
im really stuck :-(

I have a lady who married 3 times and its her first marriage I cant find if anyone would like to help
Dorothy (Doris) Mildred Hose born 4 Nov 1896 died Oct-Nov-Dec 1976 age 80 in Weston-Super-Mare.

I can find her 2nd marriage to Ernest J Poole Jan-Feb-Mar 1920 in Chelsea Middlesex where it gives her name as Dorothy M Hughes,

I know her 3rd marriage was to John Brown Jan-Feb-Mar 1934 in Dover Kent.

I know the second and third are correct as I have spoken to other family members but can not seem to find a marriage entry to a Hughes yet she had 2 children to her first marriage................... am I missing something maybe?

thanks
Nicola

Does the marriage certificate to E J Poole say that she was a widow ? ( she would only be 24 )

Just wondering if Hughes was written instead of Hose ( accents can be heard differently)

I don't have the certificate sorry :-(

To start at the beginning, have you got her birth certificate ?

Not seeing a birth in 1896 for D M Hose

You refer to 2 children for the Hughes/Hose couple - but when/where were they born please? I can't see any 1912-1920, and just one Hose/Hose child in 1919, Croydon.

Do you know the names of the two children she is supposed to have had to her first marriage?

Trying to solve a mystery without certificate evidence is not the best plan.

The 2 children in the name of Hughes may have been born out of wedlock.
Dorothy may have lived with a Mr Hughes but not married.

Don't rely on what other family members tell you, check it out.

Think you need to go back to basics - I assume the dob is from the death record you've found, but that is only as good as the informant knew - so may be wrong.

How exactly have you arrived at her? And, as asked already who are the children from her first marriage?

We are going back a long way, and peoples memories fade with time, or get muddled - so in order to help we need to know what hard facts you have please.

Added: Maybe you are really stuck because the info provided by relatives is not wholly accurate!

No I was just trying to help father in law with his tree

All I have is an entry for her death in Weston-Super-Mare, this is my mother in laws granny and I know she visits the grave in Weston-Super-Mare.

I thought possibly her maiden name was Hughes not Hose but her two children with E Poole both say mothers maiden name Hose
I also could not find a birth for her :(

There is a Dorothy M Hosey married a Thomas E Clements Dec. Q 1923 in Cardiff Glamorganshire which is not far from Weston super mare

You said her 2 children were born to her first marriage, so is it to her second marriage to Poole?

Nicola

Nicola Report 7 Apr 2013 15:36

Yes you are all right and I only have what I have been told and to be honest its not making much sense to me either

Dorothy had 2 children Stella and Patrick unsure of surname and have not found births for either the only reason I know this is my husband met them years ago :(
they both lived in Dover Stella married a chap called John Smith and died a few years back.

Dorothy then married E Poole and had 2 more children Mary and Dennis, Mary born 1927 Dennis 1929 (Mary being my mother in laws mother)

Hi Nicola- are you certain the death is the correct entry?

Rambling Report 7 Apr 2013 15:36

This must be one of the children? but it is Hughes not Hose ??

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Poole Dorothy M Hughes Chelsea 1a 817

edit , apparently not then...but it does seem a coincidence?

Definitely need to check the birth certs of known children.

Christine - If she married Poole in 1920 she wouldn't be Dorothy Hosey in 1923

I think you need to get the marriage certificate for the marriage to Ernest Poole:-

Name: HUGHES, Dorothy M
Registration district: Chelsea
County: London
Year of registration: 1920
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's last name: Poole
Volume no: 1A
Page no: 793

Name: POOLE, Ernest J
Registration district: Chelsea
County: London
Year of registration: 1920
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's last name: Hughes
Volume no: 1A
Page no: 793

This will tell you whether she is a spinster, widow or divorced.
