Death

Mary Ann Jenner
Dec qtr 1899
Horsham
2b 257
aged 54

If that is her death I can't see her in 1891. Was her husband still alive in 1891?

Forget that death on #2

There is a Mary Jenner wife of Louis in 1891 and he is a widower in 1901 so that death is probably her.

I wonder if your Mary remarried?

Thanks for looking Marg, a remarriage had crossed my mind too .

I think you might have something there!

I took a look at the 1901 and Louis has a stepson called Albert. Mary Ann Garner had a son Albert of that age and on the 1891 with Louis & Mary there's both a Charles (another of her sons) and an Albert though neither are down as stepsons the ages tie in.

Can't see a marriage yet, both had the same surname so maybe could pass themselves off as married.

...after a bit of further ferretting it appears Louis is her brother in law! Presumably not allowed to marry upr dead husband's brother at that time, so just lived together.

Marg you were right about that death, I was talking to my mother in law and she remembers her granny talking about "the arrangement" as she delicately called it between Mary Ann and her brother in law Louis - they had two children together.
