So does that record mean she married James Kidd? Or am I reading it wrongly?

If you click on the page number you can see the 2 possible spouses:

Marriages Sep 1905 (>99%)
KIDD James Edwin Wandsworth 1d 1074
RICKETTS Laura Louisa Wandsworth 1d 1074
ROBINSON Harry Wandsworth 1d 1074
WORSLEY Margaret Jessie Wandsworth 1d 107

She might show up 1911 as married to one of them.

jansmith Report 2 Mar 2012 22:24

she married one of these
KIDD, James Edwin
or
ROBINSON, Harry

Marriages Sep 1905 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KIDD James Edwin Wandsworth 1d 1074
RICKETTS Laura Louisa Wandsworth 1d 1074
ROBINSON Harry Wandsworth 1d 1074
WORSLEY Margaret Jessie Wandsworth 1d 1074




At the end of 1911 mothers maiden name was added to the birth index.

So you check after 1911 using possible surnames on that marriage

Thats why I asked the question as I did not think it is the same one who birth you asked about

The one with Annie Searle was born in Suffolk and is on one census with her parents

Posy
