Have you got this Maureen

Staffordshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1912
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office
DEAVILLE John PENNINGTON Mary A Bucknall, St Mary Stoke-On-Trent

according to several trees on ancestry Mary Ellen died in 1910 and John remarried in 1912 to another Mary (Mary Annie). The certificate says Johnis a widower age 44 of 45 Chapel St Bucknall

All the trees have John dying on 27th December 1944 at 85 Birch St Northwood but I can't find any reg for that just the 1943. Presumably all copied from 1 person's tree!

pm from Maureen ................

John and Mary Ellen didn't quite make it in time, my Grandmother put in an appearance the day before the wedding. She was the first of seven children. I have all this information as I grew up knowing all seven of them. What I not sure of Is Johns death date and information on their ancestors
------

Note that what Maureen had all that we have posted, and what she really wanted was ..................

John's death date

Information on their ancestors.

Samson Deaville 4 Dec 1898 1 Jan 1899 Bucknall, Stafford, England John, Mary Ellen


and it looks as if Hannah was born before John married Mary Ellen, she was shown as Hannah Gratton on the 1891 Census

John and Mary Ellen married on 24 May 1890, so after Hannah's birth but before she was baptised.
