There are no births that would fit the first John E but a few births that would fit for the second John. I still don't think he's the right one though.
So, instead of going on a wild goose chase for these children, we'll wait and see what the death cert turns up.
I'll have a look at William George Darby now and post what I find.

Hi Joanne,
I've been looking for William George and there's really only one that fits, name and age-wise.
Name: William George Darby Year of Registration: 1876 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Eastry County: Kent Volume: 2a Page: 885
Because he was quite a bit older than Frances, I wouldn't mind betting he was married before. I'll see if I can find him on the census records.

Debs You have just reminded me of something i was once told of Frances husband - That he was a lot older than her... "Id say that you could be onto the right one"

Right, this looks like him. His father's a baker, so promising that William followed his trade:
1881 England Census about William G. Darby Name: William G. Darby Age: 4 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877 Relation: Son Father's Name: Henry H. Mother's Name: Esther C. Gender: Male Where born: Deal, Kent, England Civil Parish: Deal County/Island: Kent Country: England Street address: 10 Water St. Education:

BINGO!!!! William George is a baker:
1891 England Census about William G Darby Name: William G Darby Age: 14 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877 Relation: Son Father's Name: Henry H Mother's Name: Esther C Gender: Male Where born: Margate, Kent, England Civil Parish: Deal Ecclesiastical parish: St Andrews Town: Deal County/Island: Kent Country: England Street address:

I'm having problems finding him on the 1901. Probably mis-transcribed. Hopefully, someone else will spot him.
I can't see a likely looking marriage for him prior to his marriage to Frances.

Hi Joanne,
This is William's death ref.
Oct/Nov/Dec 1940
Darby, William G age 64 Edmonton vol 3a pg 1459
The details of his death will be on the cert along with spouse and informant. I don't imagine that it will be pleasant reading though. Poor man!
Such a sad ending.

Debs thanks for that i will get the cert ordered in the morning... It is rather sad isnt it ....

Debs Just to clarify - Im ordering death cert for William Darby (Baker) Do i still need one for Jack who was thought to be Frances 1st husband ? You mention William had a wife before - Did they have children ?
Just want to make sure im ordering the right certificates & really want to make sure the tree im doing is correct...
If i open imy tree up, would you mind taking a peep & give me your verdict ?

Hi Joanne,
I thought that William may have been married before he married Frances because of his age, but I couldn't find a marriage for him. It looks like Frances was his only wife.
It's pretty conclusive that we have the right Frances and William marriage and that Frances was married to Jack before this.
Because Frances and Jack didn't appear to have any children in their short time together, there would be no reason to look any further along Jack's family line.
Purchasing his certs would clarify what we've already discovered, so you'd have peace of mind knowing you've got the right people, but that would be the only purpose for buying the certs.
I'll be happy to have a quick look at your tree.
Now, how does Druscilla Death come into this story, or is she another chapter all together?
