I can't help but feel you may be following the wrong Daisy.

She married as Daisy, died as Daisy ... no mention of Maud.

The baptism you have for Daisy Maud born to Arthuir and Sarah can't be yours as she died a few months later.
(unless they had another child and called her the same name).

You DEFINITELY need to confirm the father on the marriage cert of Daisy Rumble to Hughes, and also her age.

Mike*,
Has Michael confirmed that she died as Daisy?
He has stated that she was Daisy Maud on her daughter's birth certificate.
She was slightly old for a first marriage, and I am wondering if she was from a military family, or something completely different that we have not yet considered.

Patchem, Maureen - I will get the marriage cert. As for proof, as I said before according to DMR baptism record her parents were a Arthur and Sarah Rumble so not sure what else the marriage cert will tell me......

(checking on above, no Rumble births showing for Cambs.)

Chris :)

Patchem, Maureen - Please ignore my post above re Arthur and Sarah - did not see the second page of comments before I wrote it! Dashing out but had to look firsts. Agree that I may have th wrong Daisy, but she did to the best of my knowledge die a Daisy. My Grandmother and Mother both had Maud as a middle name so it is not to strange that Daisy may have been a Maud as well........ As I said I will order the marriage cert and post back on this three when I have it. Thank you for your wonderful help. Mike

Marriage cert for DMR and Gustavus ordered - now I wait the 10-14 days for it to arrive!!!

Patchem, Maureen - I now have the marriage cert of Gustavus Hughes and Daisy Rumble (no Maud!). Following details:

Married 18 Sep 1909, Daisy Rumble, 25 years, spinster, no profession given, lived at 35 The Hale Tottenham, father John Rumble, Provision Merchant.

Gustavus Hughes,26 years, bachelor, Sergeant 1 Mountain Battery Royal Queens Artillery, 4 The Broadway White Hart lane Tottenham, father Alfred Hughes (deceased), type founder.

However, I can still find no trace of Daisy with and John Rumble! :-S

Nothing found still but a small hint from another site that it may have been spelt differently so trying RUMBALL!

Well at least the cert didn't take long to arrive!!

Who were the witnesses please?

And yes-Rumb* and pretty much any variation. Rumbold,etc,too.

Maureen

Hi Maureen - Witnesses hard to read (in fact the copy they have sent is very poor!) Looks like A or L Andrews and E Lordham or Tordham??? Hope it helps!

Mike

No-no help at all. :-) Can't these people use their full names????

Grrr.

I imagine that one name could be Fordham??

I'll have a go later on. I think my brain is getting frazzled.

Maureen

Maureen - Fordham is a good idea! It could be J Andrews! Am I correct to assume that you are hoping to find these people on a census 'next to' the Rumbles?? My brain is already frazzled today so I am off for a large glass of wine!!

Sometimes the witnesses turn out to be family members...married or step family of some kind.

Save some of that vino for me would you?? :-D :-D

Maureen

Maureen - Sorry, I drank the whole bottle!!

:-P :-P :-P

Still no luck with Daisy on my part. :-(

Does the certificate mention whether John Rumble is deceased?
There is not an obvious Daisy with Father John in the censuses, or a Daisy born in March on free bmd.

Patchem - John Rumble is not recorded as deceased on the marriage cert. Like you I can not find Daisy and John anywhere! As Gus was a professional soldier I am wondering if they met abroad........... :-(

With all due respect to one of the ancient members.

Trace-erm-

Maureen ;-)

Tracey - Well done, but regrettably I did have that info. However, she (and her father) still seem to be a mystery before her marriage on 18 Sep 1909!!! Don't tell be you have been defeated......:-P :-P ;-)
