The transcriber has put all the children down as Martin when on the image it actually has them as Edwards and only Elsie as Martin.

Susan and James have been married 8 yrs.

Here we go again!!
I have grandma marriage certificate; 3a 1345 - 1922

Elsie Winifred Martin (spinster aged 23)
married
Clarence George Bampton (bachelor aged 30)
on 27 March 1922 in the district of Eton, county of Buckinghamshire. easy!

His father - John Robert Bampton, I have lots on him

Her father is not named!

Elder family members state she was a cockney, born within Bow Bells, giving her birth as: 1899. They also remember 'auntie Lil' and 'auntie Em who went to australia'

1901 census gives Elsie (age 2) born London O Ford Bow, very nicely within a family group (though no lil nor em!) maybe born later

It's from there I lose her! - and the plot!

the only one I found with any promise is 1911 census, district Marlborough (wiltshire) with 'Edwards family' (odd family makup)

'daughters' do not have 'heads' name!?

is London St. Georges Hanover Square near O Ford Bow?
London O Ford Bow is Bow Bells according to Wiki.

I have found a birth for the right name 1899 - but its in reading!
(2c 372)

Not sure where to go from here!

help from someone with more experience then me (and time) greatly appreciated (with credits to spare)!
