Alice Digweed

[Phoenix]

Could sks look at her marriage in London to George Tinworth and tell me: if she could write and who her father and the witnesses were? I'm assuming the marriage was in Newington?

Also. George's probate 1913 is on Ancestry too. Was Alice an executor?
George's address should be the Maze, Kew.

Many thanks.

Yes she could write. Her father was William Digweed, labourer and the witnesses were Charles and Ellen Digweed.

Thank you, Merry!

It's all very strange. Her age varies hugely between censuses and in 1911 she is described as feebleminded.

Ellen was her sister, and Thomas his brother.

"George Tinworth is survived by his wife whose ill health had cast a gloom over his closing years"

[Merry]

What happened at the railway station?

[Phoenix]

According to his sister in law, he hadn't been feeling very well for some time. He was found collapsed on the train at Putney, and was dead before a doctor arrived.

[Merry]

Oh dear. I had visions of him jumping under a train.

Was this the George Tinworth who worked at Doulton Lambeth? My grandmother had one of his vases. Sadly I didn't inherit it.
