  • Who was Charles William Poole's wife?

    Charles William Poole, born 1880 in Taunton

    I had always been told his wife was Emma Chapman and that they married in Dunnmow in 1898, but.................. I have seen on 1901 he was in Middlesburgh as a visitor. He states he was single.

    I do know that he had a daughter called Selina in 1902 (Taunton)

    Can anyone find an alternative marriage or know his wife's name after 1901 census? ;)

    There seem to have been several Charles Pooles born in Taunton around that time. You probably need to get a marriage certificate to be sure that you have the right one.

      The birth of Ivy Selina Poole was registered in Taunton in Q4 1902.

        The free search of the 1911 shows a Charles Poole born 1875 with an Ivy and an Emma in the household living in Taunton. ;)

          Hi Caroline/Sue

          These are not the Charles and Emma I am looking for, as I have found their marriage on BMD 1894 Charles Poole married Emma Saunders and his employment was a 'dealer' on 1901 census.

          The Charles I am looking for was working in the cinema/theatre business

            Where are you sourcing your info. Are you starting with the known and working back or trying to make other people's trees fit? Charles Poole aged 31, born Taunton on 1911 census was a music hall entertainer with wife Emmie, or could be Eunice (married 6 years) and daughter Ivy (only one child born of this marriage). Both wife and daughter born in "Northamptonshire Peterboro". This seems to be the Charles you are searching for but doesn't fit with the Selina that you "know" about but who seems to have been the daughter of the other Charles Wiliam, or with the Dunmow marriage which you have "always been told about"

            Update: There was a mariage of a Charles William Poole to an Emmie Clark in Barnsley in Q3 1905

              Hi Judith,

              I did know that Charles William Poole was born in Taunton 1880.
              I knew he was part of a traveling entertainment family (They were called Poole's Myriorama and famous all over the UK) and that he managed one of their shows/cinemas.
              I was informed he had a daughter called Selina c1902. (Just checked my notes and it says Ivy Selina Poole)

              I was informed that he married Emma Chapman in Dunnmow and had accepted that, but when I found him on the 1901 census, listed as single, I had doubts and have only now got to that 'question' in my family tree to-do list.

              I think that Caroline has found the birth of 'selina' (I was told that was her name), as Ivy Selina Poole was registered in Taunton in Q4 1902. The Pooles were constantly moving around the country with their shows, but Charles was based in the Devon/Somerset area
              The pooles are renound for using middle names or alias instead of their given name (My uncle Henry George uses Harry even now).

              The marriage date does confirm my questioning of the information (1898 marriage) I had been questioning and with Ivy's birth (though DoBs match) it seems that others had made the wrong assumption for her birth, though you have not given an age in your posting.

              [Above paragraph updated, as I was working back as if it were 1901 census not 1911]

              As they are not a direct part of my Poole tree, but are constently appearing in the same area (My Gt Grandfather Denis Poole even worked for them in Malmesbury), I have been following their line to assist in removing incorrect connections to my direct line and as a sideline of reasearch, as they have interested me.
              A book about them, which focused more on Charles W's father and uncles was published by Hudson Powell, who had passed on much of the information to me some years ago when I first got interested and now, during my college's summer recess, I have 'picked up the baton' to see what other information I can add or double check since the original work was carried out.

                Sorry, should have said the Ivy in 1911 was 3 years old, so born about 1907/8. If Peterboro is the correct birthplace there is a possible entry for her on Freebmd.

                This is the sort of challenge I frequently get caught up in, usually when i should be sorting out the piles of notes etc for my more mundane lines. Good luck with the search.

                    Information on occupation has confirmed I was correct in questioning the information I previously been in receipt of.
                    I had confirmed via 1901 he was still single and the 'snippits' on length of marriage and dau's age posted sent me to the BMD references I needed, so thanks to you all.

                      If you want any Poole information in Australia, I have a very helpful Poole cousin out there. I also have Franklins on my family tree and also on my wife's ( Berkshire ). Both rather plentiful names but you never know.

                        Thanks Qwerty, but my Pooles are Wiltshire/Glos, with a branch I have only just connected to in Canada.
                        Franklins are all from Harrow area
