Find Ancestors

Hi,
I am looking at an old family tree and I have a May Jessey b 04/05/1887 Pancras district, in the 1911 census she is 23 living in Southwark with her father and is single. She died 28/01/1981 aged 94 in Lambeth as May Wood.
In this family tree she married an Albert Edward Wood and had 2 children Rosemary and Philip. I cannot find her marriage, and the only poss birth I can find for Rosemary is in the April qtr 1920, Newcastle mothers maiden name Wood !!!!! May seemed to live and die in the London area so am not sure about this one,and for Philip April Qtr 1919, Camberwell mothers maiden name Wood !!! Did she marry or just take Alberts name?
Just wondered if a new pair of eyes could have a look to see if I haven't missed anything. Thank you S

For a start, this looks like the births of the 2 children you mentioned -

Births Sep 1923
Wood Rosemary M Jessey Southwark 1d 51

Births Mar 1925
Wood Philip E Jessey Hackney 1b 760

Which of these facts do you know to be true?

Hi Patchem

The only facts are Mays birth, death and 1911 census, the rest is from this old tree.

Regards S

Hi chris,

You certainly have the right family.

That Jessey isn't their middle names southerngit, it is their mothers maiden name.

Hi Christine2

(if so, her Burial details are on above link, pay to view website)

Hi Chris,

Yes Honoria was George Charles first wife he then married an Eliza Turner formley Rolls in 1906, so I presume he divorced Honoria?

If you go to Search Trees, May and Walter are listed there.

You can contact the posters to share information by clicking on their name to send a message.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that info on the Woods, I don't mean to be cheeky, but i can't find a marriage for May and Albert and wondered if you could have a look?
Thanks for your time.

S

No, I cannot find a marriage, sorry.

It looks as though his wife Eliza died just before the 1911 census -
