Ethel Winifred Augusta Harding born 09/08/1876 at Redwick, Gloucs.(now Somerset). Parents William & Elizabeth (nee Mitchell). Ethel had 3 siblings - William b.1872, Ernest b.1874 & Edith b.1880. Married Edwin Hopkins 1896 in Cardiff. Marriage certificate shows names entered as Augusta & Edward - probably because of age difference ? Last known in 1905 living in Cardiff when widowed. Three children - Edwin b.1898, Violet May b.1901 & died 1903 & Ivy Camilla b.1904. No details about Ethel known after being widowed in 1905. Her son Edwin was my grandfather - the family story is that he was orphaned but I have come up against a brick wall. I am assuming if Ethel because of widowhood gave the children up & it is likely she re-married ? Obviously the 1911 cenus should shed some light but I would welcome any advice or information
