Frances lived to a 'good age' also - I think this must be her although the age is slightly out:

Mel,

That can't be his death as he was still around for the 1911 census aged 69 ???

Unless the 1911 posted above is not the right one?

I have a 'feeling about this marriage, it is around the correct time.
maybe William was using his middle name| (this happens very often)

Marriages Jun 1872

Chambers James Percival P Ross 6a 847
**PARRY Fanny Ross 6a 847
SMITH Elizabeth Anne Ross 6a 847
**Strong George Ross 6a 847

I then looked for a Frances or Fanny Parry and found this one who was born in the right place
and at the right time:

1871 England Census
about Eliza Parry Name: Eliza Parry
Age: 3
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868
Relation: Inmate
Gender: Female
Where born: Ross, Herefordshire, England
Civil parish: Ross
Ecclesiastical parish: Ross

County/Island: Herefordshire
Country: England
Registration district: Ross
Sub-registration district: Ross
ED, institution, or vessel: 1
Household schedule number: 221a
Household Members: Name Age

Harriet Parry 6
Eliza Parry 3 ** (This could well be Frances E Strong from 1881) ??

(I have taken the other inmates off as not connected)


at Ross Union Workhouse

Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 2686; Folio: 66; Page: 38; GSU roll: 835340.

...........

ALSO - In the same Workhouse, although the children and the adults are listed
seperately so they are not on same page:

1871 England Census
about Francis Parry Name: Francis Parry *****
Age: 30
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1841
Relation: Inmate
Gender: Female
Where born: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England

Ecclesiastical parish: Ross
Town: Ross
County/Island: Herefordshire
Country: England

I think she is marked as unmarried but this is not clear.

I believe this could well be 'your' people ??

Have to go just now but perhaps you could follow it back further and cross-check?
