Hi,
William
Marchant was my Mum's Grandfather. He was born in 1897
Hereford. In the 1901 Census he was listed as living with Minnie as a visitor.His birth certificate states father is unknown.
After Minnie died in 1909 Jacob
Schuck remarried, and William went to live with Alfred and Alice Jakeaway (listed as adopted in 1911 Census). I think he went to live with Minnie as a visitor after Susan (his Grandmother married to John) died.
William married in June 1925 to Eva May
Morgan in Stoke-Upon-Trent, Staffordshire.
In 1926 they had a son (mum's father) (still living) and another son Charles H
Marchant b.Sept 1927 died in a matter of days from infantile convulsions.
In April 1928 William was killed while working in a mine at
Markham Colliery, South
Wales. His death record is listed April 1928, Bedwellty. He was crushed while removing a tram along a track.
Eva moved back to
Hereford and remarried James William
Innes (known as Will) in 1930. They had another 2 children.
Please get in touch.
