Ray,
I was at the NH Vital Records recently and looked for a death record for Charles Samways. I checked all the deaths 1901-1947 and found no one with that surname dying in NH during that time period. I also checked for the marriage in 1906 and didn't find it, although I did find one other marriage: for a Henry E. Samways Jr. (age 21, born Brewer, Maine, son of Henry E. Samways & Delia Flaherty, both parents born Ireland) who md. 19 Mar 1928 in Portsmouth to Beatrice G. Hartley (age 21, b. Bangor, Maine, dau of James Hartley & Grace Danfort).
I'm not sure why I didn't find the one for Charles Samways to Ada Gertrude Arthur, I even checked the brides index in case they spelled Samways some odd way. It is helpful to know that Portsmouth was a popular place for people from Maine to marry, so perhaps they did not die in NH, at least prior to 1947.
Sorry, this isn't what you were hoping for. Good luck with your research.
