I have a feeling that marriage is for this Edith:

She has a sister Laura who could well be the witness and the marriage cert certainly looks to be MALLINSON to me. :-(

That looks good rootgatherer - I will go and take a look.

Thanks so much for the articles Chris, and the Hart's list - I'll add those to the database.

We do have James' medal card, his medals went to his sister Isabella. The link to the Ancestry record is here http://goo.gl/J4nMnM

(below might relate also, if you wanted to add to project!, nothing Edith wise to help further though, sorry!)

(is there a Medal Card for James/ Ancestry?, can see NA one, Wawn one has address with wife, can see James on All UK, WWI Service Medal and Award Rolls, index, not other, just wondered, lol)

That's looking increasingly possible Jude.

Given that we're a volunteer project there's no funding for certificates, etc. but I might just have to dig into my pocket for that death certificate.

Catherine, he does look a decent chap and, according to the parish newsletters of the time, he was a good man. Perhaps there was a reason why the marriage wasn't meant to be? It was a waste of every single life that was lost - that's why we're trying to pay tribute to our local men.

Thanks to everyone.

How nice of them to give you a copy of the photo.
Good looking chap what a waste.

Yeah I found that Tom/Esther/Edith family in 1891 too...Esther ties in nicely with the Jewish thoughts?

So if this is her birth

Hi Catherine, we contacted the archivist at Lloyds Bank (where he worked from 1888) and they kindly gave us a photo from their WW1 memorial.

...............no obituary for James Errington but they do have a photo.
Might be nice for the pupil who adopted James to actually see what he looked like, but, they cost £3.95. ?

Well, I'm stumped on this one Chris!

The reason I don't want to quit on it is that I'm working on a project with year 7 pupils from a local high school and they've each "adopted" a soldier from a local memorial. One of the things they have to find out is what happened to the soldier's families after they died. The girl who has adopted James Errington is determined that we're going to get to the bottom of this :-)

(well done with that MC, was just an idea to try on DRO, I 'stab in the dark' with place names up there, lol)

What a mystery there, I must say...(mind you, you're good at getting to the bottom of things!)

Chris :)

There's this lass ....

Right name for father, wrong occupation, age a bit out but ???

In order to find what happened to her after marriage we need to know who she was before it!
