I am looking for the birth and death of this lady, I have her marriage cert to Benjamin Adolphus Felix King - April 12th 1914 in Kensington. Her father is Arthur Henry Rivers, her address given 19 Lancaster Road. She gives her age as 32. I found her on 1911 census with her young brother (maybe her child?) but now can't find the record. They had at least one child Graham James King born 1919 - did they have more? In 1939 Benjamin is with Mabel Stokes/Turner in Chesham, and on his death in Aug 1959 she is named as widow. I cannot find Emily on the 1939 register. So it would be lovely to know when Emily was born and when did she die? Where they divorced? Any help would be wonderful thank you.

Is this 1911?

Wow - all that was quick, thank you! Yes, this is her! Andy, thanks for the confirmation Frederick was her brother. Now, when did she die? King is quite a common name and I can't find it. Chris

Might this be a possibility........

Prickly Holly - Thank you for help, that closed record might well be Graham, he is not with his father and Mabel. He turns up on the ER with his father and Mabel in 1945, but haven't checked preceding years. . I need to get the death cert to be sure its her, but it fits in. I think they only had the one child, can't find any more.

Just found the marriage of Benjamin King and Mabel Stokes/Tucker - note my error on her name !

Marriages Mar 1944 (>99%)

KING Benjamin A F Tucker Hampstead 1a 1121 Scan available - click to
KING Benjamin A F Stokes Hampstead 1a 1121

So that fits with the death of Emily in 1942. Thank you everyone, I have been pondering about this for weeks!

Andrew - thank you so much for your help. I think the lady named in probate may well be her sister. Chris :-D

(well done folks, have now added full details above for her Baptism)
