hi madmeg thankyou for the info on the children all the best roger

These are the right births:

Births Dec 1904 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLUMB Maggie W. Bromwich 6b 866

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Dec 1906 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plumb Annie W. Bromwich 6b 839

Births Sep 1909 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLUMB William Charles J Dudley 6c 121

Just a few comments - please try out free bmd for yourself - the two births after 1911 were easily found with the mother's maiden name input. As was the marriage. Admittedly you may not have access to the 1911 census which showed I was wrong about the first 3 births.

If you have more queries and are not sure of your facts (I think they married 1911/12 for example), please make it clear. It didn't matter in this case as the marriage was easy to find, but it might not have been.

hi mad meg margeret curnow was william james plumbs mother

It confirms I have the right family then.

cheers madmeg for all help regards roger
