Gardner Martha Woolgar Halifax 9a 1050

Woolgar William Gardner Halifax 9a 1050

Looks like they got married in 1921:

Marriages Jun 1921
Woolgar William Gardner Halifax 9a 1050
Gardner Martha Woolgar Halifax 9a 1050

PM from Peter:

I think william was married to martha gardner and they went to New Zealand together. Before that if it is the same man he was married to Gertrude Fox (my grandmother)

Peter, this appears to be the record of a marriage to your grandmother:

Marriages Sep 1916 (>99%)

Fox Gertrude H Woolger Strood 2a 1398
Woolgar William Fox Strood 2a 1398

The only way to be absolutely sure that they are the same person is to send off for both certificates and compare the information provided for each William Woolgar.

There is a registered One Name Study for William's surname.

Perhaps the researcher has information that can help decide whether they are the same man

WOOLGAR Martha 1898 F 1924 Southampton New Zealand Wellington




WOOLGAR Wm 1895 M 1924 Southampton New Zealand Wellington

Did William return from New Zealand?
I couldn't see him on an arrival list.

There does not seem to be any children born to the couple who went to NZ

I have and it would appear that William was born same date of birth in 1895 and the parents appear to be the same i.e. Henry and Jane .

So you have the marriage certs and it is the same man?
