George Poole

Thought it about time I updated the page!!

George Poole is slowly but surely turning into a very interesting man.  I now have a very possible first marriage for him (thanks to sue for the image).  This shows that he was a Postman in 1893 when he married Sarah Ann Dobbins.  They were both residing at the same address too in Gloucester.  What really got me though was the name of Sarah Anne Dobbins father.  He was called JOB DOBBINS.  Why you may ask, well Job married a lady called Jane Pool.  She was the Aunty of George Poole.

It is amazing what one document can tell you.  I wonder if they married in Gloucester because they were cousins or not.  There witnesses must of been friends, they are certainly not family.

George & Sarah show up in Ashleworth where I presume their daughter was born in 1896.  Their daughter died in 1897 from  a type of TB/Wasting desease.  Her mother died by 1899.  Still have to check that out!!  George of course remarried in 1900.
