Adelaide Mary Foster b 1872 Alverstoke, Hampshire and last found on the 1901 census, unmarried and living with her parents in Clerkenwell, London is a problem to me!
She apparently married a John Alfred Hird - I don't know when or where but found them on the electoral roll for ? date in Melrose Road. At least I think it was both of them - it states his wife is Mary - possible she dropped her first name and used her second name.
I found her death in Johannesburg South Africa on 1.11.1942 age 59. It states her husbands name: HIRD
There doesn't appear to be a SA marriage - if there is, I haven't found it.
Were they living there - I am not sure but I don't think so.
I have only just found the SA death although I had been told she died in SA (Johannesburg).
I always thought the person she married was Ohlsen but never found anything to prove this. Perhaps she married x2. If she married before 1904 she would probably have married in Islington but zilch. I can't even find a birth for John Alfred Hird, let alone a marriage - there are, however, a lot of John Hirds minus their middle names.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
