I was also a little dismayed, June, when after so much info had been found your only comment was

"daughter maybe Rose Elizabeth Ester?"

Also no comment about the title of your thread?

I have to say I'm curious ...

June did you actually know when you started this thread that Elizabeth Esther's name was SMITH and her husband was BENJAMIN Clarke and they married in 1900?

and yet you didn't give that information?

one way or the other I imagine you must be grateful for all the assistance here! (even though you have not said anything to indicate that ...)

There is a Tree on Ancestry that gives her name as Rose Eva Esther Clark who married Alan Barton Calford Dallenger (1908-1983) a Chef in 1933. Rose died on 1 February 1953

Although Rose's Probate states that her husband was Alan Barton Catford Dallenger not Calford.

June, could it be Rosena that you are looking for?

Edit

Looking at the actual image of the census the child looks to be called Roseeva....possible birth

I don't think many people have Margee, even here, I'm having to remember that although my friend has moved basically just round the corner, her postal address is now Blackheath rather than Greenwich. :-)

Well, It screamed 'Blackheath' to me too but I am afraid that I was also looking at it as a surname not a place :-S
