Ooh Mary - maybe he had two wives on the go BEFORE Agnes!

It's definitely a G on the census

Thank you everyone for your valiant efforts. What a mix-up this family appears to be. Frederick & Alice marry and appear to have 3 children Fdk 1890, Beatrice 1893 and Herbert 1895. On 1911 census Frederick & Agnes Gertrude claim to have had 3 children, 2 alive, one age 7(b1904?) and one 6 mths b. 1910/11. In the interim Frederick appears to be living with another Jane? presumably acting as wife. Agnes Gertrude is 25 in 1911 so if the children on 1911 are actually hers - then she would have been 17/18 at most when she gave birth. However, she did give birith to an illegitimate daughter in 1906 in Romsey - Dorothy Gertrude. This being the case the 7 year old in 1911 cannot be hers as he would have been born 1904 !! Goodness me, they seem a right pair do SAgnes and Frederick. Incidentally, Agnes Gertrude was run over whilst crossing the road in Lewisham in 1923 and was killed leaving behind several children. I have not been able to read the account of this in any newspaper. Perhaps it wasn't such a big deal way back then. Thanks again everyone for really going to town on this.

to go with the above 1901 census for Robert C Dover

is this a coincidence ??????????

Just googling to try and find details of the road accident and found this previous thread which would have been useful to know about,

Taking the liberty of posting the OP from that previous thread as it gives more background

"Margaret Report 22 Aug 2011 21:21

I have a Harry Elcock and wife Agnes who have five children - Agnes Gertrude 1886, William Frederick 1889, Mabe 1895l, Gladys 1897 and Hilda 1905.. They were born Romsey, Hampshire and were still doing so 1901. On 1911 census (I cannot find my note of this at the moment) both eldest daughter Agnes and son William are missing. I presumed William had married because also on the census was Dorothy Gertrude ELCOCK age 4 described as grand-daughter. I found a marriage for William to Helen Hebdige in 4Q 1909. I found three children for this marriage - none of which was Dorothy Gertrude. The three children were born 1909, 1913 and 1916 respectively. I then decided to look for a marriage for an Agnes Gertrude and found a marriage in 3Q 1906 to an Albert Richard Betteridge. Both of these marriages were Romsey. If this is the correct marriage for Agnes, she had two more children Rideley and Hartley. At this point it was decided to send for Dorothy Gertrude's birth certificate and what a shock when it arrived. She was born in The Gardens, Romsey (the Workhouse) Romsey on 25 September 1906 - mother Agnes Elcock and NO FATHER !! Obviously Dorothy was illegitimate so no chance of finding the father BUT the Agnes/Betteridge marriage was July/August/September 1906. I am wondering if Agnes gave birth, came straight out of the workhouse and her mother took over so that she could marry ??? I had more or less come to accept that this was probably the case but can't be sure. However, my next step was to look at William Frederick's military records (he was killed 1917). There on his papers were details of his children, the fact that his wife remarried, his kith and kin - mother and four sisters - but sister Agnes Gertrude referred to as GERTRUDE CLAYTON. It looked like she too had remarried and was known by her second name. This was understandable as her mother was also Agnes.. I tried to find a marriage of an Agnes Betteridge to ? Clayton between 1911 and 1919 - nothing. I then tried Gertrude Betteridge to Clayton. No joy. On the off-chance I also tried the same combination using Elcock. Nothing. Apart from her birth certificate and her appearance on 1911 census, I can find no reference - marriage/death for Dorothy. Any ideas what else I can do to solve these two problems? The area concerned is Romsey, Hampshire area. I would welcome any thoughts/ideas you may have. Thanks."

I may have missed something over the 2 threads but i am not convinced about that Alice Mary marriage...on everything else Frederick uses his middle initial but not on that marriage?

edit well maybe it is because he uses the W on the 1891..the occupation is different...
