Donald Robert Boyce was born to Gilbert Boyle and Lilian Rosam on 21 Feb 1933 at the house of his Godmother, Nancy Boyce, 4 Petherton Road, Islington, London. Nancy Boyce was his mother's great friend and as Don's parents were unmarried her home provided Doris with a safe haven for the birth. Nancy's surname Boyce also accounts for Don's rather unusual third Christian name. Don's father Gilbert had married Violet Crossman in 1919 and from the Electoral Register Gilbert and Violet appeared to be living together, or at least in the same house, at the time of Don's birth. Later the marriage was dissolved; whether formally, by mutual consent or desertion is not known. Although Don's parents could not marry Gilbert maintained contact with his son in the early years. Apparently they all went on a camping holiday together when Don was young. Doris' sister Winifred tried to persuade them to live together so as to give Don 'a home'. Why this didn't happen is not known and Doris and Don lived with Doris' parents (Don's grandparents), William and Emily Rosam, at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, until Don left home in 1950 to join the Royal Marines. Doris continued to work to support her son so in his early years Don was mainly looked after by his grandparents.

How Doris and Gilbert met is not known but Don's birth certificate shows his father to be a 'merchant motor and electrical' and his mother to be a 'private secretary in an electrical company'. Although the term 'merchant motor and electrical' is not fully understood it implies he sold electrical equipment probably as a commercial traveller and so he may well have met Doris when he called on the firm where Doris worked.

Don's first wife Pat said that Don did not discover that he was illegitimate until he was 17. This seems slightly strange as he must have asked his mother about his father and perhaps wondered why his mother's surname was Rosam and his was Boyle at an earlier age.¹ ² Donald Robert Boyce Boyle³ [264] (also known as Don Boyle), son of Gilbert Robert Boyle (1889-1951) [266] and Lilian Doris Rosam (1900-1998) [441], experienced Birth Reg on 29 Mar 1933 in The Registrar Office, Islington, Sub-District of Highbury, London.⁴ The fact that the mother and the father and the mother registered the birth indicates that they were not married at the time.

Donald was a guest at the marriage of Oswald Charles Ensom [302] and Ella Muriel Rosam [443] in Jun 1940 in Croydon, Surrey. And the witnesses were. The groom was an Airman in the RAF and presumably has been called up or had volunteered for wartime service. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress. To provide one in wartime was quite difficult because of clothes rationing but it is thought that brides to be were issued with additional clothing coupons. However, a more probable explanation is that she adapted an existing dress or borrowed one from a friend or relative.The date is based on their marriage registration in the second quarter of 1940 and the summery weather depicted in the wedding photographs. The guest list was determined from a photograph taken at the wedding breakfast which was held at the bride's parents house at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.⁵ ⁶ Donald experienced Milit-Beg in 1951 in Royal Marines.⁷ He qualified as a Commando and was posted to the Royal Marine Barracks at Stonehouse. In May 1957 he went to sea for a year during which time he was employed ashore on covert operation in the Gulf area. On return to England he was posted to Lymstone where he was small arms instructor for the Commando courses. He remained at Lystone where he and his wife Pat had a married quarter for the rest of his service.

Donald married Patricia Hélène Wallace on 22 Dec 1956 in St Chistopher's Church, Royal Marine Barracks, Devonport, Devon. The bestman was Tony Horswill The bridesmaids were Susan Isaac [348] and Madeline Rose Wallace [514]. The service was conducted according to Church of England rite by the Rev. C.G.J. Evans. Harry Wallace who was one of the guests gave Pat away as her own father was dead. In all there were about 40 guests. The reception was held at Durnford Street. The cake was made by Uncle Harry Wallace courtesy of the Royal Navy. (Harry was a Commissioned Catering Officer and was stationed in H.M.S. Drake – the Royal Naval Barracks in Plymouth.)

Don and Pat flew to Paris for their honeymoon which Pat thinks was about 5 days. This means that they must have spent Christmas in Paris although Pat doesn’t remember it. She does remember that it was cold and Don was ill after drinking too much champagne at the Moulin Rouge! He spent most of the following day in bed which meant cancelling a trip to Versailles.⁸ ⁹ ¹⁰

On 23 Dec 1958 Donald reported the death of William Henry Rosam [445] to the Registrar H. E. Smith at the the Register Office for East Croydon. He experienced Milit-End in 1958 in Royal Marines.⁷ Having completed eight years service Don was determined to leave although his wife Pat did not want him to do so. Don's commanding officer wanted him to stay and even asked Pat to try to persuade him not to leave as he had a good cahnce of becoming an officer.

Frm 1959 to 1993 Donald was in various locations. Civil Servant. After leaving the Royal Marines he and his wife Pat went to London and lived with Don's Grandmother and Mother white Don looked for work. He was unemployed for about 6 months before joining the Royal Naval Scientific Service as a Scientific Assistant. His first job was at the Admiralty Research Laboratory at Teddington where he also studied on day release and evening classes for a degree.

In 1965 he transferred to the Home Office as an Expermental Officer and remained with the Home Office until he retired in 1993 working firstly on Civil Defence and then in the Police Research Department in London where his knowledge of small arms gained in the Royal marines came in useful. In this posting he had links with the SAS and Police Forces throughout the country. Although he did not obtain a degree he worked his way up through the Civil Service and it is thought that he may have reached the grade of Senior or Principal Scientific Officer.¹¹ ¹² ⁷ Frm 1960 to 1962 Donald lived in 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. The house belonged to Don's Grandmother, Emily Rosam. His mother, Doris Rosam, also lived there. Don and Pat were still living there when their first son, Andrew, was born in 1961.¹³ ⁷ He reported his son Andrew's birth to the Registrar R Bacon on 29 Mar 1961 at Croydon District Sub-district of Mayday Register Office.¹⁴ Frm 1962 to Mar 1968 Donald lived in 575 Lodge Lane, New Addington, Croydon, Surrey. After Don and Pat moved to London in 1958 they applied to be put on the waiting list for a Council house or flat. Council properties were allocated on a points system and Don was given bonus points for having been in the armed forces. Eventually they were allocated a flat in a newly built tower block at New Addington. Pat was delighted to have 'a home of own' but Don didn't really care. As long as he had a place to live and a meal on the table when he came home it didn't matter to him where he lived.

At first it was fine. The flat had good views and Pat could see tree from the window of the living room but slowly the disadvantages of council flat living began to emerge. Washing was stolen from the drying area on the roof; the flat was on the fourth floor so the children couldn't play outside neither could she leave the a child outside in its pram to get some fresh air; sometimes the lift didn't work and she had to carry shopping up the stairs.¹⁵ ⁷

Donald was a guest at the marriage of Albert Charles Holman [559] and Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] on 1 Sep 1962 in the Register Office Croydon, Surrey. the ceremony was performed by Philip J. Stevens, Superintendent Registrar and Stanley E. Kemp, Deputy Registrar and the witnesses were Elsie Adeline Bhend [546] and William Thomas Sayer [547]. Albert and Win lived together until Albert was free to marry. Family oral history says that Albert's first wife was a Roman Catholic and would not give him a divorce to marry Win. Research has shown this not to be the case. He married Mabel Castro who was baptised into the Church of England when he 20. It is thought that the marriage did not last long and he entered into a bigamous marriage with Elise Herniman who was also a protestant when he was 30. As Albert had left Elsie it was up to her to start divorce proceedings and probably Albert did not press her to do so for fear that his bigamous marriage would be discovered. Whether his first wife being a Roman Catholic was a story generated by Albert to explain why he was not able to obtain a divorce or there was a degree of confusion in the family brought about by the fact that he had been chauffeur to Archbishop William Godfrey who was the Apostolic Delegate to Great Britain, the fact remains that he did not feel free to marry until after Elsie died in July 1962. He was almost certainly informed of her death by his sister Maud Holman who registered Elsie's death. Win obviously knew of Albert's marriage to Elsie and the fact that he kept in touch with his sister. She probably did not know of his first marriage to Mabel Castro. Unfortunately Albert and Win only had two years together as a married couple as Albert died in 1964. How they met and when they started to live together is not known. The earliest record held in personal archives is the joint invitation to the wedding of Win's God-daughter Dorothy Sayer on 19 May 1955 which was probably sent early that year. Pat Wallace who at the time was engaged to Win's nephew Don Boyle also remembers them living together in 1955 at 8 Fontaine Road, Streatham. A search of the electoral registers shows that Albert had 'moved in' by the qualifying date of 10 October 1956 for the 1957 Register.

Pat and Don Boyle and their young son Andrew were guests.¹⁶ ¹⁷ ¹⁸ ¹⁹ ²⁰ He reported his son Neil's birth to the Registrar William G Hannaford on 4 Apr 1967 at Register Office for Croydon Second sub-district for the district of Croydon.²¹

Donald witnessed the marriage of Edward James Appleton [250] and Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] on 16 Sep 1967 in the Register Office Croydon, Surrey. The other witness was Patricia Hélène Wallace [2] and the ceremony was performed by J. H. Davies, Deputy Superintendent Registrar and G.L. Griffiths, Deputy Registrar. Don Boyle was the bride's nephew and Pat was his wife. The reception was held at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, which was owned by the bride's sister Doris Rosam. The reception was attended by Win's sisters Dorie, Edie and Ella, Ella's husband Oswald (Charles) Ensom and their son Martin, Tony Ensom and his wife Jill , Barbara Goodman who was a great friend of Win, Eva Bishop who was a great friend of Dorie, Don and Pat Boyle and their children Andrew and Neil and several of Ed's friends.

Although the marriage certificate gives Win's address as 10, Grove Road, Thornton Heath which was her sister Dorie's house she had actually lived around the corner from Ed who was living at 71 The Glade, Shirley in 1967, but may have sold her house in anticipation of her forthcoming marriage. The fact that they had lived near each other accounts for the fact that they met on the train to London where they both worked in the city. After they married they lived at 71 The Glade until they moved to Whyteleafe in March 1968 when they sold the house to Pat & Don.²² Frm 1969 to 1975 Donald lived in 71 The Glade, Shirley, Croydon, Surrey. In March 1968 Don's Aunt Win and her husband Ed offered Don and Pat the change to buy their house as they were moving to Whyteleafe in Surrey. After a great deal of persuasion by his Aunt and Pat, Don agreed.⁷ ²³

Donald was a guest at the marriage of George Alfred Kennard [350] and Susan Isaac [348] on 10 Apr 1971 in the Parish Church of St Margaret Northam, Devon. The service was taken by the Vicar and the witnesses were George William Isaac [347], Gladys May Luscombe [371], Leonard John Field [852] and M. E. Ricard. The service was taken by the Vicar and the witnesses were the bride's parents George and Gladys Isaac, Leonard Field who was the groom's half sister's husband and M.E. Rickard. The relationship of the last witness to the couple is not known. Kevin the groom's nephew was his best man. Alan Tricker was Groomsman. Lyn and Susan Hodge were bridesmaids. Pat (wife of Leonard Field), Kevin and Carol Field (the groom's half-sister and brother-in-law), Trevor and Jan Field (Trevor was also the groom's nephew), Penny Andrews, John (Laird?), Joan and Frank Squires, Patsy (the bride's cousin and her husband Don, Dorrie and Harry Andrews, Rita and Frank Hodge, Marjorie and Len Rickard, Jean Tricker (wife of the Groomsman), Lucy and Ron Crisp, Jeannetta and Bill M’Kintosh were also guests.

It is not known where the reception was held or where the couple honeymooned. Susan and George met through an introduction agency and as far as is known they had a happy marriage.²⁴ ²⁵ ²⁶ Donald and Patricia were divorced in Oct 1974 in the County Court, London Borough of Croydon. Pat suspected that Don started to 'play around' shortly after the birth of their first son Andrew in 1961. In 1972 he started an affair with Wendy who was a colleague in the Home Office where he worked. Eventually after a traumatic Christmas 1973 when Don had a row with Pat's mother, Doris, who was staying for Christmas he left Pat and went to live with Wendy. After Don left in January 1974 Pat started divorce proceedings and a Decree Absolute was granted towards the October 1974. She was also granted custody of their children, Andrew and Neil, despite efforts by Don in a later application to obtain custody on the grounds that Wendy, who he had married and had no children of her own, had a teaching qualification and therefore better qualified to bring up the children! During the custody hearing both Andrew and Neil were asked who they wished to live with and both elected to stay with their mother. The arrangements for access to the children was that Don would have them ever other weekend from Friday evening to Sunday evening. Somethimes they did not want to go and had to be forcible made to do so.²⁷

Donald married Wendy Hobson on 12 Nov 1974 in the Register Office in the District of Hitchin, Hertfordshire when he was 41 and she was 32. The ceremony was performed by Alan Wearmouth, Superintendent Registrar and B A Robbins, Deputy Registrar and the witnesses were J. A. Rolph and L. G. Rolph. They married about two weeks after the divorce from his first wife Pat was made absolute. Don had left his wife Pat in January 1974 to live with Wendy who changed her surname to Boyle by Deed Poll. Wendy was adopted; her adopted surname was Hobson. Her birth surname is unknown.²⁸ ²⁹

Donald was probably present at the marriage of his son Andrew to Heidi Elisabeth Martin on 18 Mar 1995 at the Register Office, Taunton, Somerset.The service was taken by the and the witnesses were Neil Robert Boyle [270] and Kali Wolfgang Martin [394].. Neil was the groom's brother and Kali was the bride's brother. The day was fine and the guests stood around chatting in the garden in front of the Register Office awaiting the bride's arrival. She arrived in a white stretch limousine with her father Robert who gave his daughter away. Despite the fact that Andrew and Heidi had lived together for several years Heidi wore a white bridal dress. The guests included Heidi's mother Meta, Andrew's parents Don Boyle and Pat Ward, Don's wife Wendy, Pat's husband Jack, Andrew's great-uncles Harry Luscombe and George Isaac who had recently had a hip replacement and was walking with a stick, and Harry's wife Barbara. The reception was held at the Farthings Hotel in Hatch Beauchamp. Heidi had carefully worked out a seating plan and written out place cards for all the tables and was very upset when the hotel staff had muddled up the place cards at the top table.

They left the reception in a Royals-Royce for a honeymoon in Shri-Lanka.³⁰ ³¹

Donald died on 5 Jun 2008 in Limasol Hospital at Cyprus. At 7 o'clock in the morning of 5 June 2008 Neil phoned from Cyprus to say that his father (Donald Boyle) had died at 3 o'clock that morning.

In the autumn of 2007 Don complained of feeling constantly tired and was taken into hospital (in Cyprus) for observation. After numerous tests it was decided that he was suffering from a low grade lymphoma which as far as could be determined from consulting Merk is a form of Hodgkin's disease. He was discharged but in February or March was readmitted for further tests and treatment. He never left hospital and gradually got weaker.

Shortly before he died Don wrote some something about the cause of his final illness which he believed may have been related to a chemical or chemicals to which he had been exposed in 1974. He visited Porton Down when he was working in the Home Office Police Research Department and it is possible that he was exposed to a chemical or chemicals during one or more of his visits. However, the link is tenuous because the police would have been interested in gases for control and not the debilitating gases for military use. The hospital issued a Death Certificate but it is in Greek and a copy is not available. Unless it is translated it is not known what the hospital considered to be the cause of his death and whether there is any possible link to chemical exposure.³²

Donald was buried in British Cemetary, British Soverign Base, Cyprus, according to the Church of England rite. His grave is in a beautiful spot under a shady tree. Don wanted to be cremated, but there is no cremation on the island because of opposition from the Orthodox Church.³³

Patricia continued to live with her parents frm 1934 to 1942 while her father Leslie was suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. After the initial diagnosis Les was admitted to the R.N. Hospital, Stonehouse where he was visited by his wife Doris and initially by his much younger brother-in-law Harry Luscombe. Harry's visits were stopped by his father because he feared the family would be infected. Les moved out to Mount Gold Hospital where he had gold injections. Then to Didworthy Sanatorium. From there Les, Doris and their daughter Pat moved to Brook Lodge in Sampford Spiney which is about 12 miles from Plymouth and where the higher altitude on the edge of Dartmoor was better for Les's breathing. A wooden hunt was placed across the drive from the front door in which Les slept. The family remained at Brook Lodge until Les's death in January 1942 after which Doris and Pat stayed there until moving into Plymouth later that year.

Patricia lived with her parents Leslie and Doris Wallace from 1939 to 1942 in Sampford Spiney, Devon at Brook Lodge. Initially it was just Leslie and Doris until May 1939 when their daughter Patricia was born and lived with them until her father's death in 1942.³⁴ ³⁵ Patricia Hélène was born to Leslie and Doris Wallace on 5 May 1939 in the Alexandra Maternity Nursing Home at Devonport, Devon. At the time of her birth, her parents were living at Brook Lodge, Horrabridge, Tavistock, South Devon.

Her father wrote the following poem:

SPRING BUD

They tell me, dear, you came when crocus flames

Were burning on the lawn;

When, after endless night, dark winters claims

Gave way to natures dawn.

Spring child, at one with birds and waking trees

And stiff-legged lambs surprise;

When gold-winged perfumes sent the breeze

And almonds pink sky.

Fear not the lowering clouds that fill the sky,

Nor heed a world forlorn.

For natures sprang to life, to beautify,

And smiled when you were born³⁶ ³⁷

Frm 1939 to 1943 Patricia Hélène Wallace [2] (also known as Patricia Hélène Ward, Partricia Hélène Boyle, Patricia Hélène Carpenter, Pat Wallace, Pat Boyle, Pat Carpenter and Pat Ward), daughter of Leslie John William Henry Wallace (1908-1942) [513] and Doris Winifred Luscombe (1908-1990) [364], lived in Brook Lodge, Sampford Spiney, Near Tavistock, Devon. After her birth she lived with her parents at Brook Lodge, Sampford Spiney. After her father's death in June 1942 she and her mother continued to live at Brook Lodge because her mother has promised her father that they would not move into Plymouth because of the blitz. Her mother found a job in Boots Library in Tavistock and each (working) day they would travel into Tavistock by bus and Pat would go to nursery school whilst her mother was working.

She disliked her nursery school because every afternoon she had to have a nap lying flat on a camp bed without a pillow, and they were not allowed to play with any of the soft toys which had been donated by the American Forces stationed nearby and were displayed on shelves round the room.

The journey into Tavistock became too much for her mother who suffered from ulcerated legs and in 1943 her mother's father (Harry Luscombe) insisted that they move back to Devonport so that the family could be together and either survive or die together.⁷

Patricia was recorded in the 1939 Register taken on 29 Sep 1939 for Sampford Spiney, Tavistock, Devon as living with her parents Leslie and Doris Wallace at Brook Lodge, Sampford Spiney. The household consisted of Leslie, his wife Doris and their 4 months old daughter Patricia.³⁸ Frm 1943 to 1957 Patricia lived in 88 Durnford Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, Devon. On moving with her mother to Durnford Street, where her grandfather was the Sub-Postmaster, her mother was given a flat on the top floor. Her mother worked in the Post Office and, when she was old enough, Pat did as well. After her grandfather's death in November 1946 her grandmother took over the Post Office, and Pat and her mother continued to live there.

After her marriage to Don in December 1956 she continued to live with her mother whilst Don was at swe in H.M.S. Loch Farda until she could bear it no longer and at her friend, Joan Hodge's, suggestion obtained a job in Bourne & Hollinsworth in London.³⁹

Patricia was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Harry Kenneth Luscombe [372] and Barbara Mary Sowden [464] on 12 Jun 1948, held at in St Barnabas, Stuart Road, Pennycomequick, Plymouth, Devon. The other bridesmaid was Joan Sowden [468]. The service was taken by the John Clarke and the witnesses were. Reginald Sowden gave his daughter away. The Best Man was Reginald Lyon who was Barbara's cousin and the Bridesmaids were Barbara's sister Joan and Harry's niece Pat Wallace. The Pageboy was Francis Lyon, the son of the Best Man. Joan who was dressmaker made the wedding and Bridesmaids' dresses and the Pageboy's outfit. Harry knew Barbara and her sisters, Beryl (who he called Bess) and Joan before he went to Egypt in 1944. On his return in 1946 he met up with Beryl again and courted her although, judging from a number of his letters and what he said to Pat and Jack Ward, he was also very fond of Bess. It would appear that Barbara's father, Reginald Sowden, didn't entirely approve of Harry, especially when he and Barbara has a holiday together in St Ives before they were married. However, Barbara's mother was supportive.

The reception was held at Barbara's parents' house and they honeymooned in Newquay. On the honeymoon they visited Tom Nankervis and his wife Nell who was a Hockin. They also met the musician Norman [Nankervis] who was presumably Tom's brother. {%CUR~WITN.NOTE2%}.⁴⁰ ⁴¹ ⁴² ⁴³ ⁴⁴ ⁴⁵ Patricia was confirmed on 12 Dec 1953 in Devon.⁴⁶

She was present at the burial of Amy Winifred Wakefield [490] on 24 Sep 1956 in Ford Park Cemetary,Plymouth, Devon. The funeral was well attended by family and friends and there were a large number of floral tributes. Her granddaughter Pat Boyle (née Wallace) who attended the funeral recalled seeing Amy's husband Bert and her son Roy although Roy's wife Rose who did not get on with her mother-in-law and their daughter Madeline were not there; Amy's son Harry and his wife Mary; her sisters Lottie, Bessie, Ivy and Hilda whose husbands were all dead; and her daughter-in-law Doris (wife of Amy's son Leslie who died in 1942) who was Pat's mother. Pat's husband Don was not there.⁴⁷ ⁴⁸ Frm 1957 to 1958 Patricia lived in Boune & Hollingsworth Hostel, Gower Street, London. In the Spring of 1957 Pat moved back to Dunford Street after Don was posted to a ship serving in the Gulf. However, increasing tension between her and her mother made life difficult. At the suggestion of her friend Joan Hodge she obtained a job at Bourne & Hollingsworth and lived in the firm's hostel until Don retuned to the U.K. and was posted to Lymstone.⁷ Frm 1960 to 1962 Patricia lived in 10 Grove Road. The house belonged to Don's Grandmother, Emily Rosam. His mother, Doris Rosam, also lived there. Don and Pat were still living there when their first son, Andrew, was born in 1961.¹³ ⁷ Frm 1962 to Mar 1968 Patricia lived in 575 Lodge Lane. After Don and Pat moved to London in 1958 they applied to be put on the waiting list for a Council house or flat. Council properties were allocated on a points system and Don was given bonus points for having been in the armed forces.

A search of the electoral registers shows that Albert had 'moved in' by the qualifying date of 10 October 1956 for the 1957 Register.

Pat and Don Boyle and their young son Andrew were guests.¹⁶ ¹⁷ ¹⁸ ¹⁹ ²⁰

Patricia witnessed the marriage of Edward James Appleton [250] and Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] on 16 Sep 1967 in the Register Office Croydon, Surrey. The other witness was Donald Robert Boyce Boyle [264] and the ceremony was performed by J. H. Davies, Deputy Superintendent Registrar and G.L. Griffiths, Deputy Registrar. Don Boyle was the bride's nephew and Pat was his wife. The reception was held at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, which was owned by the bride's sister Doris Rosam. The reception was attended by Win's sisters Dorie, Edie and Ella, Ella's husband Oswald (Charles) Ensom and their son Martin, Tony Ensom and his wife Jill , Barbara Goodman who was a great friend of Win, Eva Bishop who was a great friend of Dorie, Don and Pat Boyle and their children Andrew and Neil and several of Ed's friends.

Although the marriage certificate gives Win's address as 10, Grove Road, Thornton Heath which was her sister Dorie's house she had actually lived around the corner from Ed who was living at 71 The Glade, Shirley in 1967, but may have sold her house in anticipation of her forthcoming marriage. The fact that they had lived near each other accounts for the fact that they met on the train to London where they both worked in the city. After they married they lived at 71 The Glade until they moved to Whyteleafe in March 1968 when they sold the house to Pat & Don.²² Frm Mar 1968 to 1975 Patricia lived in Shirley, Croydon, Surrey at 71 The Glade. In March 1968 Don's Aunt Win and her husband Ed offered Don and Pat the chance to buy their house as they were moving to Whyteleafe in Surrey. After a great deal of persuasion by his Aunt and Pat, Don agreed.⁷ ⁴⁹

Patricia was a guest at the marriage of George Alfred Kennard [350] and Susan Isaac [348] on 10 Apr 1971 in the Parish Church of St Margaret Northam, Devon. The service was taken by the Vicar and the witnesses were George William Isaac [347], Gladys May Luscombe [371], Leonard John Field [852] and M. E. Ricard. The service was taken by the Vicar and the witnesses were the bride's parents George and Gladys Isaac, Leonard Field who was the groom's half sister's husband and M.E. Rickard. The relationship of the last witness to the couple is not known. Kevin the groom's nephew was his best man. Alan Tricker was Groomsman. Lyn and Susan Hodge were bridesmaids. Pat (wife of Leonard Field), Kevin and Carol Field (the groom's half-sister and brother-in-law), Trevor and Jan Field (Trevor was also the groom's nephew), Penny Andrews, John (Laird?), Joan and Frank Squires, Patsy (the bride's cousin and her husband Don, Dorrie and Harry Andrews, Rita and Frank Hodge, Marjorie and Len Rickard, Jean Tricker (wife of the Groomsman), Lucy and Ron Crisp, Jeannetta and Bill M’Kintosh were also guests.

It is not known where the reception was held or where the couple honeymooned. Susan and George met through an introduction agency and as far as is known they had a happy marriage. She appears on the guest list as Patsy.²⁴ ²⁵ ²⁶

Patricia was present when Susan Isaac [348] died on 14 Dec 1987 at 16 Goodwood Park, Northam, Devon of breast cancer which had metastasised. In 1985(?) Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer and was treated at Exeter Hospital. Her father paid for her and her cousin Pat to stay at the Bristol Cancer Centre which provided complimentary therapy for a week. Pat got the impression that her husband George was in denial over her illness and almost up to the last moment expected her to recover. Pat nursed Susan for the last 6 week of her life and although her Death Certificate says that her husband George was with her when she died it was actually Pat.⁵⁰ ⁵¹ Patricia was a Attender at Funeral of Susan Isaac [348] on 18 Dec 1987 in the Parish Church of St Margaret.⁵² ⁵³ She attended the burial of Doris Winifred Luscombe [364]'s ashes on 24 Apr 1990 in St Mary's Churchyard. Her ashes were buried by the simple granite pyramid shaped memorial on the east side of the churchyard which marks the spot where the ashes of her son John were buried in November 1940.

The guest list was determined from a photograph taken at the wedding breakfast which was held at the bride's parents house at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.⁵ ⁶

William died on 23 Dec 1958 aged 83 in Croydon General Hospital, London Road, Croydon, Surrey of hepatic failure, cirrhosis of the liver and carcinoma of the pelvic colon. Before being taken into hospital he was living with his wife Emily at 10, Grove Road, Thornton Heath. His daughter Lilian and her son Donald and Don's wife Pat were also living there. It is not known how long he was in hospital before he died but it appears from the death certificate that he had had a recent operation to either investigate or remove the carcinoma.¹²¹ William's death was reported to the Registrar H. E. Smith on 23 Dec 1958 by his grandson Donald Robert Boyce Boyle [264] at the the Register Office for East Croydon. Don was living in the same house as his grandfather at 10, Grove Road, Thorton Heath.

Emily Louise Gudgin, Q2 1940

Emily Louise was born to George and Emma Gudgin on 19 Apr 1876 in Pimlico, Middlesex at 18 Hanover Street. Her birth date is given in her batismal record and as there were only four months between her birth and bapism it is assumed that she was born at the address given in the baptismal register. The Scottish Birth Certificate for her youngest daughter, Winifred, also records her date and place of birth. However, the date given is the date of her marriage, i.e. 4 Sep 1899, which would have made her 10 years old when her daughter was born! The certificate also records her place of birth as Clapham where she was married. This is also an error. How the errors were not spotted by the Registrar is a mystery.¹²² ¹²³

Emily Louise Gudgin [314] (also known as Emily Louise Rosam), daughter of George Gudgin [315] and Emma Green Dunkley [301], was baptised on 2 Aug 1876 in All Saints Church, Grosvenor Road, Pimlico, Middlesex. The service was conducted by the the Rev. Lewis Lochie according to the Church of England rite. Her parents George and Emma Gudgin would have been present. As her parents names are recorded in the register it is assumed that they were present. Who else was there is not known.¹²³

Emily was a Church of England by virtue of her baptism at,.¹²⁴ Bef 4 Sep 1899 Emily lived in 120 Manor Street. This address given on her marriage certificate is the same as that of the groom. As ther is no witness who is related to her but one of the witnesses is the Groon's father it is assumed that she was loding with the family.¹²⁵ Aft 4 Sep 1899 Emily lived in 45 Solon New Road. In August 1900 45 Solon New Road, West Brixton, Lambeth is shown as the place where their first child Doris was born. It is assumed that they moved there after their marriage in September 1899.¹¹⁷

William and Emily Rosam's daughter Lilian Doris was born on 21 Jul 1900 in West Brixton at 45 Solon New Road.⁷⁸

William and Emily Rosam's daughter Winifred Evelyn was born on 2 Nov 1909 in Morningside at 36 Cowan Road.¹¹⁸

Emily was a guest at the marriage of Oswald Charles Ensom [302] and Ella Muriel Rosam [443] in Jun 1940 in Croydon. And the witnesses were. The groom was an Airman in the RAF and presumably has been called up or had volunteered for wartime service. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress. To provide one in wartime was quite difficult because of clothes rationing but it is thought that brides to be were issued with additional clothing coupons. However, a more probable explanation is that she adapted an existing dress or borrowed one from a friend or relative.The date is based on their marriage registration in the second quarter of 1940 and the summery weather depicted in the wedding photographs. The guest list was determined from a photograph taken at the wedding breakfast which was held at the bride's parents house at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.⁵ ⁶

Emily was a guest at the marriage of Robert A. Wright [678] and Marguerite G. Ensom [561] in Jun 1964 in Dulwich, London. And the witnesses were. As the bride's parents lived in Dulwich the wedding and the reception probably took place there. From photographs taken at the reception it is known that the wedding was attended by the bride's parents Charles and Ella Rosam, her grandmother Emily Rosam, her great-aunt Nell Gudgin and her nephew David Ensom. Other guests in the pictures have not been identified but were almost certainly the groom's parents and best man. The bridesmaids were probably related to the groom.¹²⁶

Emily died on 24 Oct 1965. Her death was registered in St Pancras which was in the London borough of Camden. The date of her death is given on the cover of the service boolet for her cremation.¹²⁷ ¹²⁸

Emily was cremated in Nov 1965 (est) at Croydon Crematorium. and was attended by Emily's spouse.¹²⁸ She and William Henry Rosam had the following children:

3		Lilian Doris Rosam (1900-1998) [441]
		Edith Gladys Rosam (1904-1982) [442]. Edith Gladys was born to William and Emily Rosam on 31 Jul 1904 in at home at 16 Prideaux Road, Stockwell Green. Her Death Certificate give the date and her Birth Registration give the area. As the family were living at 16 Prideaux Road which is within the birth registration area at the time of her baptism it is assumed that she was born there.¹²⁹ ¹³⁰ ¹³¹ ⁸² Edith was baptised on 4 Sep 1904 in St Andrew's Church, Stockwell Green, Surrey. The service was conducted by the Rev. Harry Lloyd Babington according to the Church of England rite. Her parents William and Emily Rosam would have been present. Who else was present is not known but her older sister Lilian was almost certainly there.⁸² Edith was a guest at the marriage of Oswald Charles Ensom [302] and Ella Muriel Rosam [443] in Jun 1940 in Croydon. And the witnesses were. The groom was an Airman in the RAF and presumably has been called up or had volunteered for wartime service. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress. To provide one in wartime was quite difficult because of clothes rationing but it is thought that brides to be were issued with additional clothing coupons.

Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.⁵ ⁶ Edith married William Colin White in 1947 in Islington,.. William was only two years younger than Edith's father and their secret marriage caused a bit of a scandle in the family. They did not have any children.¹³² ¹³³ ¹³⁴ Edith was a guest at the marriage of Edward James Appleton [250] and Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] on 16 Sep 1967 in the Register Office Croydon, Surrey. the ceremony was performed by J. H. Davies, Deputy Superintendent Registrar and G.L. Griffiths, Deputy Registrar and the witnesses were Donald Robert Boyce Boyle [264] and Patricia Hélène Wallace [2]. Don Boyle was the bride's nephew and Pat was his wife. The reception was held at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, which was owned by the bride's sister Doris Rosam. The reception was attended by Win's sisters Dorie, Edie and Ella, Ella's husband Oswald (Charles) Ensom and their son Martin, Tony Ensom and his wife Jill , Barbara Goodman who was a great friend of Win, Eva Bishop who was a great friend of Dorie, Don and Pat Boyle and their children Andrew and Neil and several of Ed's friends. Although the marriage certificate gives Win's address as 10, Grove Road, Thornton Heath which was her sister Dorie's house she had actually lived around the corner from Ed who was living at 71 The Glade, Shirley in 1967, but may have sold her house in anticipation of her forthcoming marriage. The fact that they had lived near each other accounts for the fact that they met on the train to London where they both worked in the city. After they married they lived at 71 The Glade until they moved to Whyteleafe in March 1968 when they sold the house to Pat & Don.²² Edith died on 24 Feb 1982 in her sister Winifred's house at 1 Manorside, Dresingham, Kings Lynn, Norfolk from cancer of the colon which had metastasised. The death certificate says that Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] was present. Her death was certified by Carole Brown M.B.¹³⁵ Edith's death was reported on 25 Feb 1982 by her sister Winifred Evelyn Rosam [446] to the Registrar S. Walker at the Register Office Kings Lynn.¹³⁵
		Winifred Evelyn Rosam (1909-2008) [446]. Winifred Evelyn was born to William and Emily Rosam on 2 Nov 1909 in Morningside at 36 Cowan Road.¹¹⁸ Winifred's birth was reported to the Registrar John J Eckford by Winifred's father William Henry Rosam [445] on 22 Nov 1909 at the register Office for the district of Morningside, Edinburgh.¹¹⁹ Winifred wanted to marry Christian Arthur Bhend c. 1928. Because they were first cousins (Christain's mother and Winifred's father were siblings) the faimily refused permission for them to marry. Apparently there were furious rows but in the end they bowed to family pressure. Winifred remained bitter about it all her life as she really loved Christian and felt that Christian married Millie Dickson on the 'rebound'.¹³⁶ Winifred was a guest at the marriage of Oswald Charles Ensom [302] and Ella Muriel Rosam [443] in Jun 1940 in Croydon. And the witnesses were. The groom was an Airman in the RAF and presumably has been called up or had volunteered for wartime service. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress.

Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.⁵ ⁶ Winifred was a guest at the marriage of Donald Robert Boyce Boyle [264] and Patricia Hélène Wallace [2] on 22 Dec 1956 in St Chistopher's Church Royal Marine Barracks, Devonport, Devon. The service was taken by the Rev. C.G.J. Evans and the witnesses were. Harry Wallace who was one of the guests gave Pat away as her own father was dead. In all there were about 40 guests. The reception was held at Durnford Street. The cake was made by Uncle Harry Wallace courtesy of the Royal Navy. (Harry was a Commissioned Catering Officer and was stationed in H.M.S. Drake – the Royal Naval Barracks in Plymouth.) Don and Pat flew to Paris for their honeymoon which Pat thinks was about 5 days. This means that they must have spent Christmas in Paris although Pat doesn’t remember it. She does remember that it was cold and Don was ill after drinking too much champagne at the Moulin Rouge! He spent most of the following day in bed which meant cancelling a trip to Versailles.⁸ ⁹ ¹⁰ Winifred married Albert Charles Holman on 1 Sep 1962 in the Register Office, Croydon, Surrey. The ceremony was performed by the Registrar Philip J. Stevens, Superintendent Registrar and Stanley E. Kemp, Deputy Registrar and the witnesses were Elsie and William Sayer. Albert and Win lived together until Albert was free to marry. Family oral history says that Albert's first wife was a Roman Catholic and would not give him a divorce to marry Win. Research has shown this not to be the case. He married Mabel Castro who was baptised into the Church of England when he 20. It is thought that the marriage did not last long and he entered into a bigamous marriage with Elise Herniman who was also a protestant when he was 30. As Albert had left Elsie it was up to her to start divorce proceedings and probably Albert did not press her to do so for fear that his bigamous marriage would be discovered. Whether his first wife being a Roman Catholic was a story generated by Albert to explain why he was not able to obtain a divorce or there was a degree of confusion in the family brought about by the fact that he had been chauffeur to Archbishop William Godfrey who was the Apostolic Delegate to Great Britain, the fact remains that he did not feel free to marry until after Elsie died in July 1962. He was almost certainly informed of her death by his sister Maud Holman who registered Elsie's death. Win obviously knew of Albert's marriage to Elsie and the fact that he kept in touch with his sister. She probably did not know of his first marriage to Mabel Castro. Unfortunately Albert and Win only had two years together as a married couple as Albert died in 1964. How they met and when they started to live together is not known. The earliest record held in personal archives is the joint invitation to the wedding of Win's God-daughter Dorothy Sayer on 19 May 1955 which was probably sent early that year. Pat Wallace who at the time was engaged to Win's nephew Don Boyle also remembers them living together in 1955 at 8 Fontaine Road, Streatham. A search of the electoral registers shows that Albert had 'moved in' by the qualifying date of 10 October 1956 for the 1957 Register. Pat and Don Boyle and their young son Andrew were guests.¹⁶ ¹⁷ ¹⁸ ¹⁹ ²⁰ Winifred's husband Albert died from hypostatic broncho pneumonia, widespread carcinomatosis and carcinoma of prostate on 4 Dec 1964 in Brandon, Cambridgeshire at 35 Hillside, London Road. He had had an operation for removal of his prostate in April 1963. .¹³⁷ ¹³⁸ ¹³⁹ Winifred was granted a Letter of Administration from the Norwich Probate Registry on the estate of Albert Charles Holman [559] on 10 Mar 1965. Administration with a will is a legal process that takes place when a deceased person's will is valid but there is no executor who is able or willing to act. The process involves the appointment of a personal representative to administer the estate. This personal representative is granted letters of administration with the will annexed. His estate was worth £2,631 which is surprisingly low as he and his wife owned their house at Hillside. Presumably it excluded the value of the property which passed to his wife. His estate would also have gone to her as there were no other relatives.¹⁴⁰ Winifred married Edward James Appleton on 16 Sep 1967 in the Register Office, Croydon, Surrey. The ceremony was performed by J. H. Davies, Deputy Superintendent Registrar and G.L. Griffiths, Deputy Registrar and the witnesses were Donald Robert Boyce Boyle [264] and Patricia Hélène Wallace [2]. Don Boyle was the bride's nephew and Pat was his wife. The reception was held at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, which was owned by the bride's sister Doris Rosam.

Her death was certified by Carole Brown M.B.¹³⁵ On 25 Feb 1982 Winifred reported the death of Edith Gladys Rosam [442] to the Registrar S. Walker at the the Register Office for Kings Lynn.¹³⁵ Winifred died on 4 Oct 2008 in Pool & District General Hospital at Poole, Dorset from severe dementia, old age and a fracture of the femur for which she has undergone an operation. She had been admitted to hospital on 31 August 2008 after falling and breaking her hip. By this time her dementia was very bad and she had difficulty in feeding herself. Her condition gradually deteriorated and she never recovered. At 0710 on Sunday 5th October 2008 the Charge Nurse on Widtheridge Ward rang Pat Ward to say that Winifred Appleton had died during the night. The nurse said that she had passes away peacefully a short time before midnight on the 4th October but that she had been unable to get hold of a doctor to certify the death until this morning (5th October). The nurse gave Pat the telephone number and opening times of the Property Office and suggested that she rang on Monday to arrange collection of her effects and the form certifiying her death so that her death could be registered.¹⁴¹ ¹⁴² Winifred's death was reported to the Registrar on 7 Oct 2008 by Andrew Robert Boyle [263] at the the Register Office for Poole, Dorset. Andrew reportrd her death for two reasons.¹⁴² Winifred's funeral took place on 16 Oct 2008 at Poole Crematorium, Poole, Dorset. On the day Pat Ward and her husband Jack drove from their home in Bampton to Stoke St Gregory where Andrew Boyle (Pat's son and Win's great nephew) and his wife lived. Then Andrew drove Pat and Jack drove to a restaurant in Poole where Andrew had arranged to meet David and Jim Ensom who were also great nephews of Win for lunch. Everyone then went on the crematorium where they were joined by Neil Boyle (Andrew's brother) who had come down from London for the funeral and two of the staff from the Adams Court care home where Win had spent the last few years. At the funeral Andrew gave the address remembering in particular Win's great kindness to his mother, his brother and himself. After the funeral everyone when back to the care home where the owner had provided a buffet tea before the mourners returned home.¹⁴³ Winifred experienced Ashes on 25 Oct 2008 in Poole Garden of Remembrance, Poole Cemetary and Crematorium, Poole, Dorset.¹⁴⁴ scattered\|\|The scattering was arranged for a Saturday and was attended by Andrew Boyle (Win's great nephew) who had made the arrangements, his wife Heidi who had been unable to attend the funeral and Martin Ensom (Win's nephew) who had also been unable to attend the funeral because of work commitments.
		Ella Muriel Rosam (1913-1994) [443]. Ella Muriel was born to William and Emily Rosam on 2 Apr 1913 in 36 Cowan Road, Morningside, Edinburgh, Midlothian.¹⁴⁵ ¹⁴⁶ ¹⁴⁷ Ella's birth was reported to the Registrar John J Coleforth by Ella's father William Henry Rosam [445] on 22 Apr 1913 at the the Register Office for the district of Morningside, Edinburgh. The registration says that her father W H Rosam was present (more likely in the house) when she was born.¹²⁰ Ella was recorded in the 1939 Register taken on 29 Sep 1939 for Croydon as living with her parents William and Emily Rosam at 10 Grove Road, Croydon. The household consisted of William, his wife Emily and their daughters Lillian and Ella. Her entry is annotated to show that she married and her surname was changed to Ensom.⁸³ Ella married Oswald Charles Ensom in Jun 1940 in Croydon,..

1891, 1891 Census for Household of William Rosam in Clapham

11.

William was born to William and Rosam in 1843 (cal) in Hounslow, Middlesex. The year of his birth is calculated from his age (38) given in the 1881 Census which also gives his birth place. A search or the LDS website failed to produce a record for further refinement of the date.¹⁶⁸

Frm 1857 to 1908 William was an upholsterer, coach and carriage trimmer. In the 1881 Census he is described as a coach trimmer and in the 1891 Census as a carriage trimmer. The 1901 Census is more specific describing him as a railway coach trimmer. On his son's Marriage Certificate in 1899 he is described as an upholsterer so he could have well moved from upholstering fruniture to (horse drawn) coaches torailway carriages. It is assumed that he was apprenticed at 14 and continued to work until he was 65 for a number of different firms. Sometime between 1881 and 1891 he moved to the Clapham and may well have worked for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway which had a large depot at Clapham.¹⁶⁹ ¹⁷⁰ ¹⁷¹ ¹⁷²

William married Ann Houghton on 20 Jun 1870 in St Peter's Church, Lambeth, Surrey. The service was conducted according to Church of England rite by the Rev. George W. Herbert and the witnesses were Edward Spooner, Phillis E Fernn and Harriet E Hodges. The initial source for the date is Ann's bible which was given to her by Mary Louisa, Hilda Beatrice, George and Grace Monica Herbert who must have been friends as a wedding present. The date is confirmed by the register entry for William and Ann's marriage which provides the place and other details. Apart from the witnesses it is not known who else attended the wedding. But probably the groom's and bride's parents were there. Also the bride's friends who gave the Bible as a wedding present.¹⁰⁶ ¹⁷³ ¹⁷⁴

William and Ann Rosam's son William Henry was born on 26 Dec 1874 in Southwark, Surrey at his parent's home 354 East Street.

The number or rooms occupied by the Rosam family is unknown but from the census return it must have been 5 or more.¹⁰⁸

The household of William and Ann Rosam was recorded in the 1901 census taken on 31 Mar 1901 in Clapham, Wandsworth, London living at 120 Manor Street. The household consisted of William Rosam, his wife Ann, their daughter Ada (age 23), their Granddaughter Ada Clarke (age 6), and three boarders Herbert Barnes, Ernest Boarer & Curt Grafe. The household occupied 4 rooms so assuming that the lodgers shared a room William's family has three room to themselves - probably a living room which also served as a kitchen and two bedrooms. There was probably a privey in the yard and maybe a wash house with a copper.¹⁷⁵

William died in 1917 aged 74 Wandsworth, London.¹⁷⁷

12.

The household consisted of Willliam, his wife Ann and their three children Mary, William and Ada. They shared the house with another family of 3 but the size of the house is not known.¹⁰⁷

Mary married James Clarke in 1887 in Wandsworth, London.. It would appear from the quarter in which the marriage was registered that Mary was only 16 - the earliest age at which she could get married.¹⁸⁵

William Henry Rosam (1874-1958) [445]

Ada Beatrice Rosam (1878- ) [440]. Ada Beatrice was born to William and Ann Rosam on 13 Mar 1878 in Southwark at 354 East Street. The date of her birth is recorded in her mother's Bible which was given to her on the occasion of her mother's marriage to her father William Rosam.

Ada was recorded in the 1901 Census taken on 31 Mar 1901 for Clapham as living with her parents William and Ann Rosam at 120 Manor Street. The household consisted of William Rosam, his wife Ann, their daughter Ada (age 23), their Granddaughter Ada Clarke (age 6), and three boarders Herbert Barnes, Ernest Boarer & Curt Grafe. The household occupied 4 rooms so assuming that the lodgers shared a room William's family has three room to themselves - probably a living room which also served as a kitchen and two bedrooms. There was probably a privey in the yard and maybe a wash house with a copper.¹⁷⁵

13.

George was born to and on 11 Apr 1838. Martin Ensom's research notes give George Gudgin's d.o.b. as 11 Apr 1838. There is no supporting evidence in his notes. The year (1839) calculated from his age (24) given in the certificate for his marriage to Emma Dunkley in 1863 indicates that this is reasonable. His place of birth is not known.¹⁸⁹ ¹⁹⁰

George married Emma Green Dunkley on 1 Nov 1863 in the District Church in the District Chapelery of St Gabriel, Pimlico, Middlesex. The service was conducted according to Church of England rite by the Geo. Antrobus. Although the Rev. Antrobus signed the Certificate he obviously did not write it out. The witnesses were Joseph Gudgin and Eliza Witcher. It is assumed from the surname that George was related to the groom although the relationship is unknown. As the groom's father was Parker Dunkley he was probably a brother. The other witness was probably a friend of the bride. Interestingly Emma's address is not given - only the parish in which the banns were called which is shown as Paulespury, Northants. Paulespury is a small village near Towcester so it is possible that everyone in the village knew everyone else so a further amplification of the address was not required. Apart from the witnesses who attended the service is not known. The Groom's parents may have been there but it is doubtful whether the Bride's family would have travelled from Paulespury.¹⁹¹

George and Emma Gudgin's daughter Emily Louise was born on 19 Apr 1876 in Pimlico, Middlesex at 18 Hanover Street. Her birth date is given in her batismal record and as there were only four months between her birth and bapism it is assumed that she was born at the address given in the baptismal register. The Scottish Birth Certificate for her youngest daughter, Winifred, also records her date and place of birth. However, the date given is the date of her marriage, i.e. 4 Sep 1899, which would have made her 10 years old when her daughter was born! The certificate also records her place of birth as Clapham where she was married. This is also an error. How the errors were not spotted by the Registrar is a mystery.¹²² ¹²³

George and Emma Gudgin were present at the Baptism of their child Emily Louise by the the Rev. Lewis Lochie according to the Church of England rite on 2 Aug 1876 in All Saints Church, Grosvenor Road, Pimlico, Middlesex. As her parents names are recorded in the register it is assumed that they were present. Who else was there is not known.¹²³

Bef 1899 George was in the Boot Department Royal Army Service Corps, Northampton. a Foreman||The Marriage Certificate for the marriage of his daughter Emily to William Rosam in 1899 indicates that George has retired so it is assumed that he did so at the age or 60 in 1898.¹⁹² ¹⁹³

14.

George and Emma Gudgin's daughter Emily Louise was born on 19 Apr 1876 in Pimlico at 18 Hanover Street. Her birth date is given in her batismal record and as there were only four months between her birth and bapism it is assumed that she was born at the address given in the baptismal register. The Scottish Birth Certificate for her youngest daughter, Winifred, also records her date and place of birth. However, the date given is the date of her marriage, i.e. 4 Sep 1899, which would have made her 10 years old when her daughter was born! The certificate also records her place of birth as Clapham where she was married. This is also an error. How the errors were not spotted by the Registrar is a mystery.¹²² ¹²³
