Morning Pat ~~~~~~~~~ :-)

If it's James Freeman as father he's 67 in 1911 so he didn't die young so where's the dying young? We could be here a long time with this 1 :-)

You could be right Londonbelle as 61 isn't young but he would be very unlucky to be hit by a truck in 1901 wouldn't he?

Wonder whether it's the husband of Beatrice Maud that died young?

Deaths Dec 1901

Freeman Edward aged 28 Brentford 3a 43

They wouldn't long have been married!

Looks like we've found 2 possible sets of parents for each person. Edward and Alice's marriage cert would help a great deal.

Groom Frank Ford aged 33 Bachelor Occ Laundry Proprietor Address 94 Avenue Rd, Acton
Father Stephen Ford Occ Retired Laundry Proprietor

Like that Prickles as it's round the corner from the Alice I found in 1911 :-)

Have you got the correct Tolhurst because this is for the 1907 birth - 1911 census family living 58 Holmshaw Rd, Lower Sydenham, Lewisham

Age
Frederick Thomas Tolhurst 41
Flora Ellen Tolhurst 35
Alice Grace Tolhurst 4
John Robert Tolhurst 2
Emily Frances Tolhurst

Suggest you buy the marriage cert to find out who is Alice's father as well as Edward's. I would take the date given by Alice in 1939 as the correct 1 as I can't see a reason to take 5 years off her age in 1939.

Found this to back up 1907 birth

Edit: Just checked the census and the above is incorrect. Alice was born 1902

edit (again) Looking at what others posted and Edward' birth Q, this may well be the right couple

I am helping a friend ( Roy aged 81 years & a little vague about his family ) look for his Grand parents (his fathers parents ) He told me his parents were Edward Freeman & Alice Tolhurst & lived in Kent which I found below
I have looked on the census, 1939 Register , Ancestry & on here but nobody seems to be searching this family, he told me his father died young he was hit by a reversing truck at his work.

Marriages Dec 1929 (>99%)
Freeman Edward P Tolhurst Lewisham 1d 2042
Tolhurst Alice G Freeman Lewisham 1d 2042

I have been able find Alice G Tolhurst family her parents were Alfred Tolhurst 1856-1928 & Alice Jane Sivyer 1858-1932, so really looking for the Freeman family if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated & Roy will be very happy.
Thank You Ellen
