CARLTON SUICIDE.
A verdict of suicide by hanging, there being no evidence to show the state of his mind was the verdict returned at Carlton inquest last night on Mr. William Poxon 58 a gasworker, of Haslings-street. According to the evidence the deceased who had suffered from cancer of the face had not done any work for 31 weeks, and had been medically attended by Dr. Knight. His wife saw him about 11.15 am on Wednesday, but shortly after noon she found him hanging at the foot of the bed.

Hi Dea and safc,

Thank you so much that's her, although don't know abt Gloria E Porter born 14 Aug 1887 as I know that Elizabeth had a son George Ernest Porter born 16 Aug 1887 and he is buried in the same grave as Elizabeth and William Poxon so something odd there.

just noticed that Gloria is down as a Shed Engineman?

Again Thank you.

Wendy

Hi All,

Could some kind person please look on 1939 register for Elizabeth Poxon (Wayman) born 1867-1869 Carlton Nottingham.

Back ground details:

She was born Elizabeth Ketton married George Porter in 1885 had 3 or 4 children, he died or she left him some time between 1891 and 1895 when I think she took up with William Poxon and had 5 or 6 children, on 1901 and 1911 census they were using William's mother's maiden name of Wainman which is where I think Wayman on the 1939 came from. They then went back to using Poxon surname and married in 1919.

Thank you

Wendy
