Hello, i have a Henry Sparkes getting married in 1876 Poplar to a Elizabeth Richardson. Elizabeth remarries a Samuel Balkam in 1902.
Elizabeth was born 1857 from her 2nd marriage cert.

I dont know when Henry was born,so i cannot look for a death yet.

I noticed there a few Henry Sparkes on the probate and wills and if he left a will.
Would this record help find his death.I dont know even if they were together in 1901.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks MFM

Many thanks T, so henry died between 1891 and 1901,

I wonder if he was the Henry William Sparkes that died in 1897 West Bromwich.

Was Elizabeth on her own in 1901?

Thanks again MFM
