There's this marriage ??

I can't work out which of these men married Emily.

Marriages Dec 1903 (>99%)
Brierley Joseph Rochdale 8e 51
Fletcher George Edmund Rochdale 8e 51
SAMPSON Emily Rochdale 8e 51


I'm guessing this is Emily in 1901:

I don't see her with either groom's surname in 1911, but she may have died before then.
If she was George's wife, she could have died anywhere, as we don't know where he was in 1911.


Father's death:

Just one more enigma to solve now which is who did he marry before Florence :-S. I am still searching but not holding my breath :-D.


I would like to thank everyone who has helped me on this thread your time,patience and input is very much appreciated.

Result!

Thank you I will look further into that one.

Erika posted the 1918 births and deaths of the Fletcher / Geary twins.

Another possible child:

Fletcher Mary Geary Horsham 2b 593

Oh brilliant Mary thank you

George Edmund Fletcher of The Towers Worthing died April 1927 at the Public Hospital Georgetown British Guianna probate 23rd November to Florence Gwendolin widow
£3131. 1s 1d.

So it is the same one who went abroad as an engineer.

Florence Gwendoline Fletcher
in the Surrey, England, Church of England Burials, 1813-1987
Name: Florence Gwendoline Fletcher
Age: 77
Birth Year: abt 1877
Burial Date: 6 Oct 1954
Burial Place: Woking, St John, Surrey, England
Parish as it Appears: Woking, St John the Baptist
Reference Number: WOKJ/4/7

He's a problem isn't he :-). I am still digging about myself with no luck. I could not find Gwendoline either NOTE ... Her full name is Florence Gwendoline born 1877. Redcar hence the 2 births in Newcastle area methinks

The rank on Page 3 of his Service Reord is Lance-Sgt. It is not Lieutenant Sgt, which does not exist as a rank

He was 'discharged at his own request' in Sept.1902 - having paid £18.00

In other words, he 'bought himself out'

He must obviously have re-enlisted at some stage, and been commissioned. No way of knowing, at the moment, whether it was a regular commission, or a field commission.

When George joined up, his occupation was Schoolmaster. Unlikely, then, that the Engineer who travelled abrod in 1926 is the same man - especially as he was an Army Officer in 1916.

And what became of Gwendoline?
