Mark1959 Posted 25 September , 2019 Share Posted 25 September , 2019 The WFA card found by George does not help much. Says Widow born 1880. Christian name Teres - I assume Teresa. Address (1)7, Queens St, Queenston (assume Queenstown). Possibly, but very tentatively, Teresa nee Hanley married 1904. Reg in Cork. Take with a pinch of salt but may explain his presence in 1917 Naval roll show entitled to trio. Born 30/10/1880, Malborough Devon. Thatcher on enlistment Baptised in Malborough 1882. Father a thatcher Edward. Mother Rhoda Jane. 1891 census https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBC%2F1891%2F1717%2F0028&parentid=GBC%2F1891%2F0012204331 1911 https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBC%2F1911%2FRG14%2F13060%2F0086&parentid=GBC%2F1911%2FRG14%2F13060%2F0086%2F7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
