Please can someone advise who this chappie married

Marriages Sep 1905
ACOURT Theodore Charles Wandsworth 1d 1358

DAWE Edith Annie Wandsworth 1d 1358

I am working on the A'Court link and fitting him into the rest of the family.

His mother was Harriet A'Court born in Yeovil 1863. Harriet's mum was Caroline A'Court - she was a widow by 1881 census and I am trying to find out who her husband was - without success

Any advice??

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for your wonderful help - really appreciated

Yes this is the family -Theo is down as a 14 month old grandson and Harriet is 18 so it could be her child or other possiblity is that Mum Caroline had a son who inturn was not living at home on date of census and had left grandson with mum or she had another daughter who was a single mum. I wonder also if Harriet was the mum?

I have located this death
is this Caroline's husband??
Deaths Mar 1876
A'Court Charles 64 Yeovil 5c 375
Caroline was 58 at time of 1881 census - so would love to find her wedding to find out her maiden name

I note that Theo reverts to Charles

Would all fit but I don't want to make assumptions - if i could find Harriet's dad/Caroline's husband I could then fit him into my a'court forest.

Thanks

Linda

Do you know for certain that Harriet is his mother? If not, why not buy the birth certificate?

Saw that 1861 - wonder if Selina died (can't find death record as yet), and if he took up with Caroline (can't find marriage).
