It has been established that Margaret Elizabeth Crompton was married, for the second time, to Thomas
Williams in the third quarter of 1894 in Scarborough. However, in the 1901 census, even though
Margaret's condition is given as 'married' Thomas Williams is not mentioned. Margaret Elizabeth
appears in her widows weeds, looking like Queen Victoria, in Mary Agnes' wedding photograph dated
Bridlington 20 June 1900. It is therefore assumed that Thomas Williams had recently died.
GRO death records have been searched for Thomas William's death but there is no firm evidence of a Thomas Williams dying in the East Riding between 1894 and 1901. His place of death was expected to be Scarborough, however a Thomas Williams, aged 52, died in Beverley in the 2nd quarter of 1894 (GRO ref: 9d 57).

From the evidence of John Henry Crompton's war record, made available through the Australian War Memorial, Margaret Elizabeth moved in later life. The effects of her son were sent, on 29 November 1918, to 7 Princess Royal Terrace, Scarborough. Then, on 4 November 1922, Margaret Elizabeth Williams was living at 18 Kingswood Avenue, High West Jesmond, Newcastle-on-Tyne, when The Australian National Memorial Plaque, Memorial Scroll and 'Where the Australians Rest' were sent to her. It is possible that she lived with her son Walter.

Thomas Williams - Margaret elizabeth's second husband
Thomas Williams, Margaret Elizabeth's second husband, had been married twice before.
Thomas' first wife, Mary A Swift, was born in Leeds in 1839. In 1851 her mother, much travelled for the time, was lodging in a house in Scarborough, supported by her son. Mary was recorded as another lodger.

In 1861 Thomas and his young wife, who he may have met in his capacity as a 'commercial traveller, were living in Great Driffield on a street of tradesmen who employed workers.

In 1871 Thomas was living in the same road, with Ellen and their new son, but it was now an area of a solicitor, annuitants with servants, governess and gardener.

In 1881 Thomas had retired to Scarborough to the Westborough, a road passing the station and leading to the sea front. The census page shows that professional people and annuitants, with a single servant, lived there. John Henry Crompton, nominated his mother Margaret elizabeth Crompton, then of 55 Westborough Road, Scarborough, as his next of kin in his Australian Army attestation papers. Perhaps Margaret elizabeth and Thomas first met here ...
