Lois younger sister Caroline Monk had died in 1925
so that would have been her out the will

the older sister Jane had married a Doctor, Arthur J Mathieson
in 1906 Woodgreen the husband died 1927
could not find any more on her so not sure if she died before Lois ?

A lot of money in those days -


In 1940, £6,197 12s 3d would have the same spending worth of today's £177,995.43

Oh, and £ 6000 must have been a nice few bob in 1940

Thanks again

Ray

Thanks Choccy

Your findings are finally sinking in, sorry

Well done and thank you for your help

Ray

Looks like there was another Lois Galloway who married in 1907.

Couldn't find that one in 1911 anyway.

Hi Choccy

Sorry I was not disputing if she did marry, just trying to get to
the bottom of this puzzle, they may well of moved down to Worthing.

Many Thanks

Ray xx

Sorry Shirley

for confusing you with Choccy, thank you for the Baptism record

Ray xx

The point I was making Ray is that she did not marry.

Thanks for that Choccy

That would be her Baptism record and her brother was still
living at home single in the 1911 with his mum and stepdad

Interesting about the will ??

Ray

Thanks Potty and Shirley

I am aware of how the Free BDM works, just wondered if
there was anything on Ancestery ?
I have had other marriages found on Ancestery covering Edmonton

I never noticed the Postem on Free BDM so thank you for that

Galloway Lois L 63 Chichester 2b 1527

the LMA banns etc on Ancestry dont cover Edmonton

if you find the marriage on FreeBMD then clicking on the page nos will give you the other party

Clicking on the page number will bring up a list of possible spouses.

In this case, there is only one man listed but there is a postem against Lois saying that she married Henry Jackson (not on the list). But this info won't help you find the banns.

Could someone please have a look and see who this lady married ?

Lois Galloway 3rd Qtr 1907 Edmonton District 3A 1225

She was Registered at birth as Lois Louise Gallaway
3rd Qtr 1876 Woodgreen Middlesex Edmonton District

I only need to know if there are any details on the Banns

Many Thanks
Ray
