    Emily was Lilian's mother; the relationship of the other witness to couple is not known. The marriage took place by licence - an Allegation - because Ernest was German. The Allegation acknowledges that Lilian was underage but that she has the permission of her mother to marry (her father was dead).

  • Stretham, London4

    The household consisted of Ernst, his wife Lillian and their children Jessie (age 7), Millicent (age 5) and Wilhelm (age 1). They also had a live in servant Emily Groves and were living ins a five roomed house in a middle class part of London. Ernst is now shown as having independent means which is a step up from the electrician shown on his marriage register entry. Where the money had come from is not known - perhaps his father had died.
