You got me going there! Unfortunately the witness at the wedding was Austin E Cornelius. He was Sarah's brother. Although there are loads of Cornelius in the Faversham area, Alfred Edward doesn't appear to be in this line.

lol, never know what will turn up, Alfred Edward Cornelius (witness at Marriage) stealing game fowl 1904...

So 1911 Sarah back to Luton Road, Marriage address, although different number.

Chris ;)

Thanks Chris. Assuming that's from FMP, I'll have a closer look. My lot are so 'ordinary' its unusual to find anything in the papers!

12 May 1923 - Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald - Whitstable,

Faversham Man Drowned
Mr. F. V. Bidden (Deputy Coroner) held an inquest on the body of James Stupple, 1, Hugh Place, Faversham, at the Guildhall Wednesday. Sarah Ann Eliza Stupple, the widow, stated that her husband was aged 46. He had been a labourer on the railway, but had had no work since Christmas. On Sunday morning about 9.30 he went to his sister's at the Shipwright's Arms, Hollow Shore, she did not think he could swim...

A tree on Ancestry has the birth of a son of Alfred (John Alfred) on 11 December 1947 - so you can scratch him off 1939 register

Jude

Jude - none of the 1939 registers had originally been found, so thanks for that. :-)
Back later.

I know you have Ethel's death but here she is in 1939 (apologies if this already posted)

Ethel S Ford (Gillam) 25 Jun 1904 Female Paid Help Domestic Single 198 1
Address 28 Holland Road Southend

Jude

Now you see why I've been going round in circles :-D

Thank you so much for your assistance - I'll check in tomorrow to see if there are any updates. At least you've all managed to put some of them 'to bed'.

Wondering about this? EDIT No.... this one is Albert Edward on the CWGC

I do believe the marriage is correct as 1939 register gives correct date of birth.

No, ignore this. Mabel was born end of 1899:

[Deleted wrong info based on a Mabel born 1906.]

Although I’d seen the asylum record for Richard Gillham, I’d dismissed it as being out of area. However, if his daughter Elsie E did marry in Dartford, it does provide a more plausible link.

Sarah A E’s remarriage in 1915 looks good! She doesn’t have much luck with husbands does she? Assuming its correct, it more or less rules out the Australian venture.

Rose – I’d kept wondering if Albert Richard had assumed on O(liver). At least we can discard that one now.

Have you found Sarah Cornelius / Gillham after 1911? If not, could this be her with Ivy?

She's a child, travelling with Mrs Gilham, housewife.

Rose - and you think you were lost?? If I'd added all B, Bap, M or D records, it would have run into 2 pages :-D :-D
The Merchant Navy record does look promising.

Thanks for identifying Nellie's death Choccy - no wonder I couldn't find her on the 1939. She married a toy boy and didn't want the age difference to be known. ;-)
