Afternoon all !
One of my GGG Grandmothers married 3 times - and I'm down from her 3rd marriage (so lucky to be here as me !!! ).
Anyway, I'm keen to order up the Death cert of her 2nd husband - but there are two options - can I please have some thoughts as to which is more likely ?!?
Details :-
Mary Ann Rooney (aged 23) & Richard Fagg (aged 34) in Brompton - Kent - they married on 16th March 1864 - Brompton - The Parish Church.
They had two sons - the first was William Edward Fagg - born A/M/J 1864 - Medway (Kent). The second one Joseph Richard Fagg - born 14th May 1866 - Farnham.
Now on the 11th July 1866 - Mary Ann Fagg married Joseph Jackson (he was also in the Army !) - at Farnham.
There are two possibles on the Death of Richard Fagg :-
1) O/N/D 1865 - Dover
2) J/F/M 1866 - Portsea (aged 36)
I have the 2nd son's (Joseph Richard Fagg) Birth cert - no mention of his Deceased father.
So which Death shall I go for ? Both have merits of sorts. The first place Dover is in Kent and probably used by the army as a departure point. The second option matches his age.
Now include the info that she married at Farnham for her third marriage - I'm thinking it's the first option.
Please advise and then I'll order up the cert ! Which would you go for and why ???
Thanks
Simon
