Hello Janette,
Well done !!!!! So mystery of Mary Eliza Chant buried 1914 aged 59
solved. I had not thought of checking that far forward. So old George
ended up outliving two wives !.
Many thanks, another piece of the jigsaw is in place.
Regards,
Sean

Hello to Sean,
It's Janette here! In my file I have George 1845's 2nd
marriage was to Mary Eliza GIBBS in the June 1/4 1901 in Sherborne.
John from Essex found out a lot of information from Sherborne
marriages, deaths & census records & forwarded it on to me. At the
1901 census George & family were listed under the surname SHANT. I have
that she died 9.2.1914 & was buried 13.2.1914 in Sherborne as you had.
At her death she was of New Inn, Sherborne, Dorset & left 127 pounds in
her will. The executor of the will was Garner McDaniel INGRAM.
So that's who the Mary Eliza CHANT is. George's 1st wife Annie Eliza
died about Sept.1897 in Sherborne, Dorset
I have that Lilly/Lily was a drapers assistant both in 1891 & 1901 &
George was a mason in 1891 & stone mason in 1901.
Regards,
Janette in Oz.
