Have you looked for her death. If it's still Carter then she hadn't remarried

Hi wondered if you could help me with some information please. Viola Carter who was challenger born 1912 to 1993 was widowed in 1953 at the age of 45. She married Thomas Carter in 1941 for 12 years until his death. I was trying to see if she remarried as she lived to 89. Many thanks jane

Jane.................

You need to invest in some certs.

You can't do this sort of search any other way

Thomas (above ) appears to have been in WW1 and records of his service are online,,a number of pages mapping his movements from 1915 to 1919,,,,,overseas incluced he was in RFA,,,,,,,and included is a letter asking the army for any news of Thomas whic may have been written and signed by Arthur Carter ( his father)?from Lea Malmesbury.

it maybe worth getting them to file away.....also 1901 and 1911 census should make him easier to find with Arthur.....

Yes I have been through all the siblings and been researching 7 years and not much further forward really. I have tried various trees all nothing. My dad does not know who his father was its Carter on birth certificate but we have no photo nothing no information. He could be Arthur tidd child there is resemblance. This secret was taken to the grave. Every door I open closes thanks for looking

Chippenham may not be the place of death but the main named office that the death came under,


a death from that time will be listed as Newcastle upon Tyne but actually took place in the surrounding area of about a 15 mile radious.....

Edit----Chippenham is also the registered place of the 1939 birth------..

Have you followed through on the siblings?

Marriages Jun 1941 (>99%)

CARTER Marian F Tidd Chippenham 5a 295
SEWTER Marian F Tidd Chippenham 5a 295
Tidd Arthur G Carter Chippenham 5a 295
Tidd Arthur G Sewter Chippenham 5a 295

No Tidd/Sewter births on freebmd

Hardly surprising, as Marian was born in 1900

So you have no documentary evidence that the marriage in 1941 was for Marian's ex?

As Bernard's birth was registered with the name Carter, I think it a touch unkind to sully Marian's reputation.

...................unless there was a strong resemblance between Bernard and Mr Tidd. ;-)

Hi thanks for looking again. I am not 100 per cent sure of Thomas Henry Carter death. He was born in lea 22 jan 1896 father was alfred Carter and mother fanny Carter maiden name Pearce. Married in 1926 to marion sewter in Mitford Norfolk . My dad was born in 1939 Bernard carter. Dad never saw him we know nothing of him. Marion remarried in 1941 to Arthur Tidd and I assume Thomas Carter remarried also in 1941 to viola challenger in Chippenham. Either could be his father I guess .

Deaths Dec 1953 (>99%)

CARTER Thomas H 57 Chippenham 7c 360 ---North Wiltshire,


?

a March birth reg in Malmsbury Wilts could tie for death age.


Also unless there is a headstone or marker you wouldnt be able to tell if Thomas was buried anywhere just by walking around. ,,,make inquiries at Wiltshire County Council they hold the burial registers for all of them.

Calne,Chippenham and Malmsbury have about a 20 mile radious from each other--

Marriages Sep 1926 (>99%)
Carter Thomas H Sewter Mitford 4b 623
Sewter Marian F Carter Mitford 4b 623

He may not have been buried.

As already suggested, Jane, get a copy of Violet's death cert

Are you 100% certain that the 1957 death is for the right person? There is no second initial

Where was Thomas born? Who were his parents?

BTW, Rose, my parents had been married for 11 years before I was born...............

Are you sure Thomas was Bernard's father? They were married for over 12 years before he was born and I see Marian also remarried as soon as the divorce came through.

Frome is the registration district and so covers a multitude of places (it also was abolished in 1974 and became Mendip RD which is where Viola's death was registered).

Use freebmd to look up the death, click on Frome and it will show you the places covered.

By getting the death certificate, you would see exactly where he died (same for Viola) and could then google churches/cemetery/crematoria/funeral directors in the area.

You could also try local papers for obituaries.

They are not registered on https://www.deceasedonline.com

Many thanks how does one go about trying to find where he would be buried I assume in Frome
