Just to confirm that the divorce is certainly not your couple but this one:-

Marriages Sep 1866 (>99%)
BUXTON Selina Kensington 1a 171
SCOREY William G Kensington 1a 171

.........so not relevant to your research, but will leave for other helpers.

wow, this is amazing stuff, thank u so much. I've just ordered the certificate.

If this is Edwin then it may explain why they only had one child:-

Name: E. Scorey
Private 2/5th Hampshire Regiment
Military Date: Aug 1914
Residence Year: Abt 1914
Residence Place: 22 Wilton Street, Southampton, England
Rank: Private
Regiment: Hampshire Regiment
Section: Section IV, Southampton


He volunteered in 1914 drafted to India the following January. He was engaged in important garrison duties until August 1918 in which month he was sent to Hong Kong. After the Armistice he went with the army of occupation to Constantinople and was still serving there in 1920. He holds the General Service and Victory Medals.


(There is also an Ernest Scorey born in 1878 Southampton, so above may relate to him, so this would need checking out further)

EDIT:-
In 1911 Ernest Scorey was living with his father (Cecil Scorey - Retired Publican) at:-
45 Millbrook Road, Southampton
He was single and occupation is noted as Jockey.

(...........just wondering if he was a Jockey, then maybe he would be too small to enlist in the army?)

Possible death for Ada?

Name: Ada Scorey
Birth Date: abt 1883
Date of Registration: Sep 1963
Age at Death: 80
Registration district: Southampton
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 6b

and Probate:-

Name: Ada Scorey
Probate Date: 27 Sep 1963
Death Date: 28 Aug 1963
Death Place: Southampton, England
Registry: Winchester, England

..............of St. Olives River View Road Bitterne Park widow died at Royal South Hants Hospital Probate to Olive May Mair married woman.
Effects £2601 18s 4d

(note: Bitterne Park is same address as 1911 census)

Thank you, this is all great stuff. Do you know if there is anyway I can find out if William Scorey or indeed Edwin/Edward Scorey ws related to Walter Alexander Scorey 1857 - 1908 who married a Beatrice S Dyer 1858 - 1927. I have details of some of their children Charles J Scorey 1882, Arabella A Scorey 1884, Agnes E W Scorey 1890, Ellen E Scorey 1896, Harry L Scorey 1898 and Edward A T Scorey 1900. All born in Southampton.
Many thanks and apologies as total long shot but know there is some family connection

Divorce may not be relevant to our couple after all, as this looks to be the marriage of Edwin's parents:-

Marriages Sep 1863 (>99%)
xxxx DAVIS Selenea Southampton 2c 49
xxxx Davis Selenia Southampton 2c 49
Pilworth Alfred Southampton 2c 49
SADLEIR Mary Southampton 2c 49
xxxx Scorey William Thomas Southampton 2c 49


...........so all the more important to get Edwin's marriage cert. to confirm.

If cottect family, then his parents marriage

Andy

Hi all, is anyone free to search the records for me please?
I'm looking for Edwin Scorey who married Ada Stagg June 1911 - South Stoneham.
I have found a possible birth record for Ada Stagg - born 1883 - South Stoneham but having trouble finding anything for Edwin Scorey.

I'm really trying to find Edwin's parents and his birth.
I can only see that Edwin and Ada had one child - Olive M Scorey - 1914 South Stoneham
Many thanks, Sarah
