That would fit with following birth:-

Births Sep 1918 (>99%)
Farrow Daniel R Murphy Prescot 8b 1290

and Gladys birth abt. 1920 (which would fit with birth I posted earlier) so much later than 1908.
So if this couple went to Australia looks like we can eliminate them from search. (Unless they came back to the UK)

That's a possibility, Catherine.

On the other hand, here's the marriage of a Herbert Pigden in Yarmouth in 1907 -- Gladys's father??

There is a Gladys V.Roberts born in Fulham in 1915 so later than stated so maybe not?

Births Jun 1915 (>99%)
Roberts Gladys V May Fulham 1a 532

EDIT
There's also a Herbert G.Pigden born in Fulham

Births Jun 1914 (>99%)
PIGDEN Herbert G Taylor Fulham 1a 449

so no connection to Great Yarmouth?

Born in 1908 but not married untill 1939, not impossible I know but it is also possible that she was married before and Pigden was her married name?

I wish these posters would stay with the thread to answer our questions.

ArgyllGran Report 1 Mar 2014 21:31

I can't see her birth either, nor on the 1911 census.

No sign of Herbert Pigden in 1911.

No Brusch / Pigden marriage in England/Wales.
No Brusch marriage to a Gladys of any surname.

Where did you get your information, Doreen?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 1 Mar 2014 21:26

No, they married too late. (That's if Gladys was indeed born 1908 - I can't see her birth on FreeBMD.)

This would be the marriage of the above Harry and Nelly:
