    I think this is Jane in 1911.

    This could be Samuel in 1891, but he's with a ROSE and a MARY ANN Checkley, but no JANE??? They are boarding with William Norman age 46.

    This would fit well with details given in this GenCircles family tree:

    https://www.
    gencircles.com/users/eileenmac/1/data/362

    which gives full dates and places of birth for Rose & Mary Ann. Both are shown as children of Samuel Welch Checkley and Sarah Ann Maunder (no marriage details are given, and I haven't as yet spotted a marriage on FreeBMD). In the notes section for Mary Ann it says 'also known as Jane'.

    On Sarah Ann's page of the tree it says she died 29 May 1888 in Cardiff Infirmary, Roath Glamorgan. The cause of death was 'Result of injuries caused by locomotive accident'.

    The date and place of Sarah's death would fit with this:

    Western Mail, Thursday 31 May 1888
    'On Tuesday evening the second victim of the recent accident on the Barry Railway died at the Cardiff Infirmary.'

    This report had appeared a few days earlier:

    Western Mail, Saturday 26 May 1888
    'On the Barry Railway, near Wenvoe, yesterday, a man and woman were allowed to ride on one of the engines, and when near Wenvoe the engine by some means left the rails and toppled over, killing the man instantly and crushing both of the legs of the woman.'

    More from the Western Mail, 26 May 1888

    'SHOCKING ACCIDENTS AT BARRY.
    A MAN KILLED AND A WOMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED.
    A shocking accident occurred on Friday morning on the Barry Railway, near Wenvoe (No. 11 Cutting), to a woman named Mrs. Chuckley. It appears that Mrs. Chuckley was riding on an engine to go to Cadoxton to see Dr. Neale, when the engine in running on to some points, got off the rails. The train of trucks, loaded with stone, then ran on to the engine, turning it completely over, and the poor woman fell, with her legs jammed between the wheels, smashing them below the knee. She was promptly conveyed to the hospital at Barry, but was subsequently sent to the Cardiff Infirmary. On the same engine a young man was riding, whose name is unknown at present. When the engine turned over it fell on him, almost cutting him in two and killing him instantly. He had previously met with an accident, and was proceeding down the line to the doctor's. The engine driver and fireman escaped with a severe shaking. The cause of the accident is attributed to the points not being over far enough, causing the engine to swerve off the metals, and the weight of the loaded wagons behind completed the disaster.'

    The inquest was reported in the Western Mail of 2 June 1888 (page 6). No further details of the accident are given but there was evidence from Sarah's husband:

    '....Samuel Checkley, husband of the deceased, a navvy in the employ of Mr. T.H. Walker at Barry, said that the deceased, Sarah Checkley, was his wife, and was 26 years of age. For some time past she had been unwell, and on Friday last she purposed coming into Cadoxton to see Dr. Neave. Witness recommended her to get a ride on an engine as far as Cadoxton. She did so, and met with the accident. Witness got to the scene of the accident whilst his wife was under the engine'.

    The same issue reports the inquest on the 'young man named Smith' killed in the same incident.

    hank, I should have explained where I found these newspaper extracts . . . the Western Mail is one of the nineteenth century newspapers that have been digitised for the British Library Nineteenth Century Newspapers collection. Many public library services provide free access to this: if yours participates then you should be able to consult the newspapers from home using your library ticket number to log in.

    Something for you that I didn't post yesterday. If you check the Cemetery Archives for Masterton, New Zealand, there is burial record for William PERRING at Archer Street cemetery. See here.

    Record Number: 002946
    Surname: PERRING
    First Names: WILLIAM
    Age: 70
    Date of Death: 6/01/1923
    Date of Burial: 9/01/1923
    Cemetery: Archer Street, Q E Park
    Area: Plan I
    Row: WP
    Plot: 6

    Also buried in the same plot is Elizabeth Ann PERRING

    Record Number: 004309
    Surname: PERRING
    First Names: ELIZABETH ANN
    Age: 70
    Date of Death: 9/12/1934
    Date of Burial: 11/12/1934
    Cemetery: Archer Street, Q E Park
    Area: Plan I
    Row: EAP
    Plot: 6

    So it would appear that it was William PERRING snr who married Elizabeth Ann Cox in 1912 (see post #14), after Charlotte died.
