In an article in the Western Times - Exeter on Friday 3 November 1939. There is an account of an inquest into Nellie's niece Jean Ashley Blackmore. Nellie's address is 8 Belmont Avenue, Ilfracombe. There is a similar article in the Exeter & Plymouth Gazette of 3 November 1939

Unmarried and living at 8 Belmont Avenue in Ilfracombe in 1945 (electoral roll). Was almost certainly the informant for the death of her father, although the certificate appears to say "F G Blackmore, daughter". See also the notice of Samuel's death in the Ilfracombe Chronicle.


Electoral Register 1945 marked QD June Barnstaple Division
Ilfracombe (West Ward)
8 Belmont Avenue

4435 Blackmore Nellie G

However, there is this marriage (where sister married a year earlier)
Name: Nellie G Blackmore Spouse Surname: Mccarnen Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1923 Registration district: Wandsworth Registration county (inferred): Surrey Volume Number: 1d Page Number: 1305
same ref: Name: John Mccarnen Spouse Surname: Blackmore
and then this birth
Name: Doreen N C Mccarnen Mother's Maiden Surname: Blackmore Date of Registration: Apr May Jun 1928 Registration district: Wandsworth Registration county: Greater London Volume Number: 1d Page Number: 893
and her marriage
Name: Doreen N C Mccarnen Spouse Surname: Mash Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1953 Registration district: Wandsworth Registration county (inferred): Surrey Volume Number: 5d Page Number: 1366
same ref: Name: Leonard C Mash Spouse Surname: Mccarnen
- almost certainly NOT the same Nellie, since there was a 10yr old Nellie G on the 1901 census in Wandsworth.
