Good Morning, Yes its Thorrington in Essex,I think Samuel married Emily. The rumour is that he married twice but i have no evidence to support this.He had two daughters,vera, and violet.Vera was born in 1910.The family you have found could be cousins etc as i have been told their are lots of CREEKS about, i just wish i knew my link. Thank you.

Births Dec 1910
CREEK Vera E M Colchester 4a 740

This would be the family then:

CREEK, Samuel Head Married 3 years M 25 1886 Labourer In Stone Pit Kerby Essex
CREEK, Emily Wife Married F 26 1885 Colchester Essex
CREEK, Vera Daughter F 0 (4 MONTHS) 1911

Looks like Emily 'could' have died in 1917:

Deaths Sep 1917
Creek Emily L 33 Colchester 4a 659

If so, he would be free to marry either of these:

Marriages Jun 1919
Bloomfield Alfred C King Colchester 4a 1834
**Creek Samuel A Matthews Colchester 4a 1834
King Edith E Bloomfield Colchester 4a 1834
**Matthews Edith K Creek Colchester 4a 1834


Marriages Sep 1925
Barlow Arthur E Humphreys Colchester 4a 1991
***Creek Samuel A Gray Colchester 4a 1991
***Gray Emily Creek Colchester 4a 1991
Humphreys Myra M Barlow Colchester 4a 1991

Dea x

It is even possible that both of the above marriages were his as there is a 'possible' death for an Edith K Creek:

Deaths Dec 1923
CREEK Edith K 35 Lexden 4a 772

The only way to be sure of all this is to get the certs!

(He wasn't very lucky with his wives was he??)
