WWI Pension Record Cards and Ledgers query concerning name / date Today I paid to gain access to images on Fold3 website. As a result I have deleted some of the content of the document: ![enter image description here]( It is a WW1 Pension Document but I am confused. Her birth name is Mary Elizabeth Brown and she married William Finlay Partridge on 21 Jan 1907. William died in WW1 on 25 Jan 1915 and Mary later marries. According to the Civil Registers she married Walter John Banning sometime around Jul 1918. Yet, on this pension notice she is already a BANNING. I can only assume that this document was created after that date but I see nothing to indicate that apart from her name. The official record is from WWI Pension Record Cards and Ledgers. Can anyone shed light on this?

The card would have been produced in the process of granting her a pension as a war widow, and then updated when she remarried and became ineligible to receive the pension (as she now had another husband to provide for her, relieving the state of the necessity to provide).

The Western Front Association has some useful background information on these documents.
