Note that the Emily here has also had an error in age, corrected to 1898 ?? BUT that could be 78 as the top of entry is partly obscured by line above??) and I don't think middle initial is D either possibly f or j...f would tie in as she is with son from first marriage to Ralls and son Julian from second marriage to Maidment.

Ive finally looked up all the references as well as the census forms and the Frank Maidment born in Mere is not the right person.
I think he is born in 1887 in Bournemouth because on his marriage to Violet his father is cited as George Maidment..
I think he died in Southampton in 1960.
Does anyone think that's correct?
I also think the children from the first marriage are
Violet and Reginald (born 1916)
Agnes born 1917
Julian born in 1922
there seems to be another twin??? of Julian called Francis
Madeline born 1923, same year that Violet died.

Frank marries Emily Ralls in 1929 so I also wondered what happened to Frank's children, because Julian seems to be living in Southampton in 1939. Emily had 10 children so if Frank moved in with 6 children that's quite a crowd.

Any ideas anyone? your help would greatly be appreciated

Additionally who is Emily Maidment on the 1939 register mentioned above? it cant be Frank's wife as the DOB is wrong

There's a couple of possible births from this marriage in Southampton

Does anyone have connections to Edwina M Ralls or any information about Emily Edgell? For some reason there was a family feud and Edwina moved away from Southampton? It could be due to the war or something else. Unfortunately the human story isn’t available always from records but I’m interested in finding out what happened if that’s possible from such a long time ago

(was trying to determine which Frank, wasn't sue if you knew)

Chris :)

Thank you for all that information :-)

Is that Frank below?...
