Weaver Family of Bamford Street, Christchurch

I seriously sidetracked today when researching Bamford Street. There was an interesting ad in 1895 which read Wanted if this should meet the eye of Mrs McCallum late of Oxford Terrace, Christchurch can you help me find out the persons that are trying to take my life by poison. If so please come at once to Mrs Weaver of Bamford Street, Woolston. A year earlier in 1894 Mrs Emily Weaver a respectable looking middle aged woman charged her husband with failing to provide for her plus ill treating her and beating her. They had been married for 23 years and had seven children. She frequently consulted fortune tellers McCallum’s and Noble. Her son also George Weaver said that these accusations were imaginary and that his father treated his mother fairly. Sadly George Weaver the son died in 1905 aged 32. In 1907 Albert Weaver died from the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain possibly caused by over exertion when rowing. There was a daughter Flora who died aged two in a fire in her bed. She had been left alone in the house. George Weaver pops up again in the court news and this time it is his wife Charlotte charging him with the lack of maintenance. The judge said that they were an elderly couple who had only been married a year. There were issues concerning adult children from previous marriages. The family trees on Ancestry website were useless as they have confused the father and son as both were called George. To confuse matters even further Emily Weaver died in 1928 and is buried with George. Charlotte was a widow when she married George Weaver but is buried with her first husband. George and Emily were divorced in 1915 but are buried together. George Weaver died in 1924 aged 73.
