lol Meg, he is a veteran 10 miles 1hr 15mins.

Back with acute indigestion!

I cannot understand how that surname is proving so blasted elusive.

I am off to recheck my data first.

If anyone comes up with an idea please sing it out.

Thanks

Sue

they are not at 1 Phillips Terrace.

I think have looked at every spelling I can think of from Ray to Wray.

Did he win? Cos we aren't winning with this lot.

Can't find a birth for Edith Emily 1900-1905.

Thanks Karen, you are a star!

Meg, I will in a while.

Forgive me, I HAVE to feed hubby as he was running in a race in Mid Wales today and is waiting to be fed and giving me evil looks.

Thanks for continuing to help, now where is she??

Back asap

Sue

Edit: yes Meg she was.

Sue, I assume she says she 20 on marriage?

That looks like him Karen.

Pity you don't like my Walter Russell Rea and his wife Evelyn - google him!

Francis Frederick Bennett aged 26

Sue

What age was Evelyn's spouse on marriage?

I've answered myself - child is Edith Emily. Father is Frederick Alexander.

Oh FGS
On the marriage cert the father is Alexander Frederick
on the baptism he is Frederick Alexander....

I want to lie down!

Problem is that there is no way of knowing if the 1899 birth is correct.

Have you checked in Scotland or passenger lists

Well my offering has a Walter and a female Evelyn.

What's the name of the child baptised in 1905?

Baptism at St. Mary Magdalene, Paddington (Westminster) stated address 1, Phillips Terrace.

No other details for Mother other than Christian name.

Sue

is there an address for the baptism that I could look on 1911. What was her mother's name did she remarry?

Not yet!!

Know it's maybe between 1905 (last baptism I can find) and 1919 but no luck. Bloomin' annoying because it's a good surname.

Sue

Sue I have looked for a death for Alexander Rea without success., have you found one?

Thanks Meg, I don't think that is a direct line, do you?

I accept that her father could well have been born outside London but where is she in 1901/1911 *sigh*
