I was wondering if anyone may help me here!!
On the 1911 census
I found Walter Beckwith born 1882 from Kings London and his wife Edith Beckwith [nee] Hurnell born 1884 from Woodgreen London, along with their children Ivy Beckwith age 9, Mildred Beckwith age 7 and Leonard Beckwith age 3 all the children born in Woodgreen London. What i cannot find is anything before 1911 on either Walter or Edith not even a marriage.
Please if anyone could steer me in any direction i would be most grateful.
Thank you Ann
P.S I have looked on Bmd

Walter F is a telegraph learner in 1901 so I'm thinking it's unlikely to be him.

Janice,
i see that marriage to Edith Picton but my mother inlaw who is Walter and Edith grand daughter swears that her name was Hurnell!!!! I do not know i am now wondering if she has got that right!!!! again thank you for the kind help, Ann.

Ann Report 4 Sep 2009 19:52

Janice,
i am thinking down the lines that parhaps Edith was born Picton and her mother married again to a Hurnell or even her mother had her before she married anyone, anyway it was very kind of you to help Janice thank you,
Ann.

Sorry to be such a pest but would someone mind looking on the 1891 census for Edith Picton to see if there are any Hurnell on there.
You all have been so kind i would understand if you have had enough of this thread.
Again thank you all for your brilliant help,
Ann.

Mildred Ethel Beckwith 1904 june qt Edmonton gro ref 3a 493
Leonard Walter Beckwith 1907 june qt Edmonton gro ref 3a 621

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

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.

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?
