Above were borne in Edworth Nr Biggleswade, Bedfordshire in 1890 & 1891 respectively. I'm trying to trace their death dates. I've traced them on all census to/inc 1911 (in Edworth). They had a daughter (Marjorie) in 1918.

Can anyone help please? Thanks a lot.

I think the Gertrude M is out because birth register has Gertrude E.

The others could be right - I have no way of pinning down their locations.

Thanks folks.

Sorry -unexpected visitor.

Looks like neither Gertrude is right one. At one stage I did check passenger lists in case they had migrated somewhere. Don't really know what else I can follow up!!
