Martha Gardner Robson1

F, #49614, b. circa 1852, d. 22 January 1934
Last Edited22 Jul 2024
     She was born circa 1852.2 Martha married Walter Noel Harding on 18 August 1880 at West Derby parish, Fairfield, Lancashire, England, according to entry No. 480 in the parish register.2,1
     Martha Gardner Harding died on 22 January 1934 at Blundellsands, Great Crosby, Lancashire, England.2,3
     
     Martha Gardner Robson was buried on 25 January 1934 at West Derby Cemetery, Lancashire, England.2      Her estate was probated on 9 April 1934 at Liverpool, Lancashire, England, leaving effects of £172 9s. 11d. to Rachel Flora Parker (wife of Henry Calvert Parker), her daughter, and Eva Mary Gardner.3
     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper the Liverpool Daily Post published in Liverpool 25 January 1934:
HARDING
     January 22, suddenly, at Fairway Far Moss-road, Blundellsands, aged 82 years, MARTHA GARDNER (sic), widow of Walter Noel Harding, of Bootle. Service at Christ Church Waterloo to-day (sic) (Thursday) at 11 a.m; interment afterwards at West Derby Cemetery.2


     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
My initial reading of Martha's obituary seemed to indicate her maiden name was Gardner, but her marriage registraation shows her full name was Martha Gardner Robson. Since she was a spinster, Gardner was not her maiden name, or from a previous marriage. One of the witnesses on the marriage registration was Richard Gardner Robson, her brother. Perhaps their mother's maiden name was Gardner.4
