SHEWAS MARRIED TO THOMAS MOUNTFORD WOOLASTON,HE DIED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF MY GRANDMOTHERS BIRTH. HER NAME WAS ETHAL NORA WOOLLLASTON. IT SAYS ON 1911 CENSUS THAT CATHERINE WAS LIVING WITH CHARLES WILLIAM TOYNE AND THAT MY GRAND MOTHER WAS A STEPDAUGHTER.

but if she married Woollaston in 1878, she wasn't Woollaston in 1872 :-)


for info, death of Charles William Toyne, which matches age in 1911, but there isn't a clear birth for him

Deaths Dec 1937
Toyne Charles W 75 Warwick 6d 962

and Catherine's death just before

Deaths Sep 1937
Toyne Catherine E 80 Warwick 6d 742

Perhaps she just lived with Mr. Toyne and said they were married.

I think that's most likely - it would help if we could figure out whether Mr Toyne was previously married but there's just no match for a birth or marriage

1911 says married 8 years

she does not seem to have left a will .....................................



it may well be that they did not marry for whatever reason, but lived common-law

I'll remind Angela as to how to find her replies :-)

I have had a response from Angela to say that she will thank everyone for their help. I have a feeling she may be struggling with the boards. x
