Death: perhaps 1900

Narrative
Very little is presently known about this individual. The principle reference to him comes from the CWCG entry for Harold William REEVES, where the additional information notes "Son of Mary A. Latriff (formerly Reeves), of 59, Riley Rd., Brighton, and the late William Reeves".FreeBMD records the marriage of William REEVES to Mary Ann LANGLEY during the third quarter of 1890 in the Brighton Registration District. William and Mary have yet to be identified on the 1891 census.
On the 1901 census Mary Ann REEVES is listed as a widow, with the following children
- William Harold REEVES, b.reg. 1q1891
- Horace Langley REEVES, b.reg. 3q1894
- Gladys Mary REEVES, b.reg. 3q1897
It is probable William's is the death noted by FreeBMD during the fourth quarter of 1900 in the Brighton Registration District. His age at death is given as 42, suggesting he was born about 1858/9.
Research Notes
(1) The marriage of William's widow Mary Ann REEVES to JOHN LAHIFF (sic) was recorded during the fourth quarter of 1903 in the Brighton Registration District. William's widow, now Mrs Mary Ann LAHIFF and son Horace Langley REEVES are to be found on the 1911 census in the household of John LAHIFF at 59 Riley Road, Brighton.(2) Information about this individual is very sparse and should be treated with due caution. Are you able to help by providing further detail, perhaps from a marriage or death certificate?
