Thanks rootgatherer,you probably meant the 1911 census for the one who died age 76,the one born 1878/9 may still be a live still in 1911.I searched the 1911 and found who i think is Annie E M Drawbridge in Dartford but no Henry so this could be the one who married Edward Shanly in Lewisham.

As of yet i have not found a 2nd marriage for a Annie E M Cottingham,

Thankyou for your help again.....Sam

But the marriage in 1918 - to Shanly - only lists one man and two women so how can you draw the conclusion that Annie married Mr Shanly? Annie could have married the other - so far un-named - man.

Mrs Grumpy

The BMD tells you he married a lady by the name of Drawbridge...

Marriages Sep 1918
Drawbridge Annie E M Shanly Lewisham 1d 2364
Gardiner Alice Richardson Lewisham 1d 2364
Shanly Edward M Drawbridge Lewisham 1d 2364

After 1911 it includes the surname of the spouse!

So Alice Gardner married a Richardson!

This is starting to get silly lol.... and i agree very entertaining!

Jill -- because it says.

Post-1911, it gives the other spouse's surname with the individual's entry in the index.

I copied the FreeBMD entry but put the matching spouse's surname in parentheses, to clarify the jumble of words for the benefit of newbies maybe not used to deciphering the lingo. It's right there in the GRO entry, though.

The GRO specifies that Shanly married Drawbridge, and vice versa.

...and being completely picky,

I entered the surname Richardson and the year and the quarter and found the spouse of the other lady mistranscribed.

Marriages Sep 1918
Richardson Frederick A Gardiner Lewisham 1d 2334

I shall add a postem online to this.

Oh, drat, I thought it was a marriage.

Yes, that's the problem with these long threads.

I posted that one on page 1. -- sorry, page 2.

... that's the problem with these long threads ...

That's how I calculated that Collins married Drawbridge in 1903. ;)
