Ofcourse ----According to" the elders " She smothered herself OR Did someone else smother her ie her Husband. She was a drunk I have been led to believe, and that is why I want to find her, so that I can get her Death certificate, to prove one way or the other if she committed suicied or was murdered.

I'm curious about those twins having the same middle initials: WG. Checked the image, and that's what they are (wondered whether someone had transposed one to the other when transcribing, but the names are separated by quite a few others).

William George and Wilhelmina Georgina? Not seeing any family surnames they might represent. Charlotte Honey was a Swinden, e.g.:

Marriages Sep 1882
** Honey George Lambeth 1d 803
Martin John Samuel Lambeth 1d 803
** SWINDEN Charlotte Lambeth 1d 803
WIGHTON Constance Emily Lambeth 1d 803


(You can search at www.freebmd.org.uk for names that appear together on a page, so I searched for George Honey marrying a Charlotte. The twins' birth was at FreeBMD, btw; not yet in the database at Ancestry.)

I did look, under Bailey and then under Honey, but nothing. Since those kids were born in 1919, any death would not yet be transcribed, I imagine -- only two quarters of 1919 and nothing beyond, so far, it seems.

I'm going to leave you to scrounge through the untranscribed images if you care to. ;)

Do report back, if it's the right one! (Just post here and the thread will pop back up. I hate PMs ...)


Oh -- and will you tell us what these mysterious circumstances were??

Thank you Kathryn, that sound good , I may have to get the GRO certificate for that, Did you see May's death at all around that time ???
Thank you Sheila

Only one May Bailey married in Wandsworth district between 1902 and 1922 (as so far transcribed):


Name: May Bailey + Arthur A Honey
Year of Registration: 1915
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's Surname: Honey
District: Wandsworth
County: Greater London, London, Surrey
Volume: 1d
Page: 1422


Wouldn't that be the obvious one to try?

(I tried to check whether she was still living in Battersea in 1901, but Ancestry decided to throw a moronic fit about that census year, and refuse to give results for England.)

I don't even see a May Bailey - Reeve marriage in that time period.

I'd try that one.

There are two births to go with, as so far transcribed:


Arthur W G Honey 1919 Oct-Nov-Dec Bailey Wandsworth Greater London, London, Surrey

May W G Honey 1919 Oct-Nov-Dec Bailey Wandsworth Greater London, London, Surrey

Twins, it seems!

Hello I am trying to find who May Bailey married she was born in Battersea c1888, her father was William Daniel Bailey and her mother was Edith Pricella Bailey nee Blackmore there is a myth in the family that she died in suspisious circumstances So I need to find her marrage, I have a GRO certificafe for a marrage to a Reeve but that is wrong as G/grandfather William was a Blacksmith . Can you please help
