YAY! RESULT! :-))

Janice and Quinsgran,
because of your fantastic help last night i was able to search around a bit more.
I found why Edith called herself Hurnell, on the 1911 census i found her mother Sarah Hurnell married to a Harry Hurnell for less then a year.
They are living at the same place as Edith and her husband Walter Beckwith.
It looks as if Sarah Dunkley married Charles Picton first and had Edith, but Edith must of really liked this Harry Hurnell as that was the name she told my mother inlaw was her maiden name. Would just love to say thank you again for your fantastic work. So the out come was Edith Picton did married Walter Guy Beckwith!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH,
ANN.

Thank you all once again,

You have all been so very kind in helping me, honestly i really cannot thank you all enough.
Janice and Quinsgrand i think you have found the right Walter Beckwith as the family did end up in St Albans Herts.
You two are wonderful!!!!!
Sorry and big thank you to you Choccy
very kind regards to all of you Ann.

Yes, that's what made me feel Walter Guy is the one we want.

Still think Hurnell is a name that's come from somewhere else though: there's nothing appearing in this line to confirm the name at all. There are Hurnell BMDs in the Edmonton district, however, so perhaps someone else in the family married a Hurnell somewhere along the line.

Nice one Janice.

Have you any idea when she died?

Deaths after April 1969 give dates of birth

Wondered if Edith married after Walter died, and came across this:

Marriages Mar 1940
Batchelor Percy Beckwith St.Albans 3a 3886
Beckwith Edith E Batchelor St.Albans 3a 3886

What do you think?

Walter Guy Beckwith's birth and death:

Births Dec 1880
BECKWITH Walter Guy Edmonton 3a 268


Deaths Mar 1935
Beckwith Walter G 54 St.Albans 3a 1126

Ann,
If I were you, I would buy the birth certificate of one of those children, then you would definitely know the mother's maiden name.
I had the remarriage idea too, but then found her birth so didn't pursue it.

Just a little advice about family giving details. My mother always said her mother was born in Derby.She was born in Middlesbrough. She also said her mother died of cancer of the blood . I got her death cert and my mother was the informant. She didnt die of that
