Jim That would fit it quite well with being 69 at death in 1923. I even have a photograph of this woman but knew nothing about her. Thank you all so much for your help with this. Please don't delete any of the replies. My computer is playing up and I may not have time to enter all this today. Thank you to all you wonderful helpers. |

Louisa Darling Head 48 Eating house keeper Walter Humphrey Boarder 26 Circus performer/manager Gertrude S Humphrey 27 Living,28 Caversham road,Reading. Wish i could find one of mine with an interesting occupation instead of coton mills and coal mines,lol. Regards Ross. Bah too quick for me Jim. |

Jim Thank you. It certainly looks as if she married Walter HUMPREY first. If she married Fred FIELD in East Preston area in 1890, I wonder why I can't find her in 1901 index? |

Ross Thank you. That looks a very good possibility and I like your reasoning. Walter might have made his money in the business. His wife was Sarah too, - Gertrude's 2nd name. Definitely worth following this lead. |

I wonder if she did marry more than once before she married into our family. I will have to cross check some of the possible previously named marriage entries. As far as I know my great grandfather was always in the Littlehampton area so they must have met in Sussex. Something must have taken Gertrude to that area... |

I have just been told that on the GRO index her death entry in 1923 shows her as 69, so there is an age difference problem here. ie born c 1854 or 1862? |
