There are no Margaret mellor deaths with dob 26th Sept 1912, but she might have died before the dob was listed or one or other dates might be wrong.
I am irritated with myself now as I'm sure one of the addresses I detailed way back near the start of this thread when I was reading Denis's army record (post #11) was an address for Zipporah, but I wrote it down as 'their address' which is clearly wasn't if they were separated. *chastises self for not being more careful* Also in 1919 there were two addresses for Denis, so maybe one of those was Zipporah's address too?

Poor Zipporah - she didn't have a very good personal life did she? Let's hope having a good job made up for it a bit. I wonder if your cousin has the first marriage cert for Zipporah? It would be interesting to see if she admitted to being 15. it was legal then, of course, but so many brides added a bit if they were very young.
The 8 children bit ties in doesn't it? James, Thomas (who died) and Martha with Robert and two who died before 1911 with Denis, plus Denis, Veronica and Margaret with Denis.
