Ah, so Mabel isn't actually Edith Jane - though I suspect there is a connection. This really is an enigma!

Death?? Edith Jane Wickham born @ 1885 died April 1885 Cuckfield.

Frederick George Wickham born @ 1886 died 12/12/1/1966.

Birth in Cuckfield for Frederick George Oct 1881??

No birth registrations for Angela Mildred or Frederick, though there's an Annie (1890) and Charles Frederick O (1892) registered in Cuckfield RD

I wonder if Mabel Edith Pearson is actually this one:

I wonder whether this birth for the 1916 marriage though

There's an Angela WICKHAM visiting in 1911 ?

Saw that one, Jax but if she was born Burgess Hill, it should have been Cuckfield RD. No sight of her marriage to John King...

Births Dec 1880 (>99%)

HOPE Mabel Edith Uckfield 2b 119

Does not look like they married

Can't find a Mabel Edith registered in Cuckfield either!

I'm wondering if there's some relationship between Mabel Edith King and Mabel Edith Hewitt....some more info would be helpful - Harry's age and occupation for example. I note there were some Harry Hewitts in the army, perhaps this explains his absence from home....

Birth certificate to confirm Mother's name?
Births Sep 1906
Hewitt William Harry Brighton 2b 229

And his death so stayed local?
William Harry Hewitt
Birth Date: 11 Jul 1906
Date of Registration: Mar 1990
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Hove
Inferred County: Sussex
Volume: 18

how about Mabel ? still can't identify a birth or find her before the marriage in a census ... Billingshurst is in Horsham registration district ...

this is the closest for a death

Name: Mabel E Hewitt
Birth Date: abt 1882
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1955
Age at Death: 73
Registration district: Swindon
Inferred County: Wiltshire
Volume: 7c

but this death is certainly interesting

Name: Mabel E Pearson
Birth Date: abt 1883
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1958
Age at Death: 75
Registration district: Surrey South Western
Inferred County: Surrey
Volume: 5g

or possibly she remarried

too bad Malcolm did not stick around to answer questions and give all the information he has

Do you know when and where Harry died, and what was his occupation?

was Mabel Edith Pearson previously married, from the marriage certificate ?

her age and father's name ?

there is only one birth registration showing for that name and it was in 1897 in Steyning so that is not her

to find them together on the 1911 census and hope to get more info, like his place of birth, all this information is needed
