FLETCHER, LEONARD GEORGE (MMN)HEAD
GRO Reference: 1898 D Quarter in BRENTFORD Volume 03A Page 101

Legally, old enough in those days, but ...............

Wouldn't George only have been around 15 if he married in 1894 if he was born 1879.


Maryb.

I have been digging again and found a marriage that I would appreciate an opinion on please.


George possibly married Emily Chaffey 1894 in Christchurch. I could not find a death for her, however do you think they may have divorced as I found her later on still in Hampshire under her maiden name and a death in 1957. According to the 1939 register she was born 4 July 1879.


Do you think this could possibly be worth sending for the marriage certificate to prove fathers names

Thank you very much Erica

George was not in the UK in 1901

Marriage from page 1
Martha Manbridge married 1898 to Charles John Ridgers/Rodgers
Annie Jane Newell married George Fletcher born 1873

Annie and George are together 1901/1911 so not your George.

I wonder if these children are his?

No problem Shirley :-). Army records are not easy to read or understand either.The marriage I found in Droxford was not him so I am still looking to find first marriage.

Yes it is lieutenant on the 1916 marraige record I had problems enlarging it on the iPad

Erica on the wedding certificate it states he is Widow and also the service records have yes crossed out and no replacing it. I have seen this done before a few times when I was doing a WW1 research project

Interesting - must confess I didn't scrutinise the records, except for trying to see who his NOK was.

BUT - I was referring to the marriage cert when I queried the rank.

Just for reference his service record says Lieutenant Sergeant on the third page

I don't think he married before he joined up, having scanned his records

Thank you Erika I have just downloaded the service and am going to look at it now. I may have found a first marriage for him in 1898 to either Martha Mansbridge or Annie Jane Newell ,more investigation here for me
