You said that you had Walter & Edith's marriage certificate so hopefully you have their fathers names to check against Ediths birth...

These are the Edith Lucy's ... but year is slightly out...

Might be best to find her family on the 1881 census first to check her age and where she was born.

Could not find a 'definate' family.

Just checking.. the death registration I added on the 18th said that Ediths parents were John & Sarah Ann.
Does her marriage certificate also list her fathers name as 'JOHN' ?
Does it say whether he is deceased or still alive, and what was his occupation?

Researching:
Ablett, Baldwin, Coombe, Daniels, Edkins, Pascoe, Prowse, Seager

Julie, on marriage certf states John Carter Baker - occupation : Farmer (though name was originally entered as James Carter Baker and bears a registration notation at the side the change to John) Edith's death certificate shows just John of Independant means. Edith's age in 1905 - 28 which makes dob c1877 age at death in 1948 - 73yrs which makes dob c 1875. Could not find a definate family on 1881 census either . It is a shame death certificate did not list her actual birthday, just noticed another difference death cert says she was 29 when married which would change date to 1876.( all too confusing ) date of birth between 1875 - 1877.

Hubby already know how addictive,I'm always in trouble for being on the computer too long. Keeps the brain active solving these mysteries.
