Eileen Draper wife of Alfred Booth.

Eileen is the daughter of Alexander Draper 1884-1969 and Elizabeth Currie 1885-1958.

Hoping to establish whether Alfred and Eileen had any children together

Eileen was from Charlton - They married in 1930

Thanks

I can't find a marriage for Alfred and Eileen between 1925 and 1935. Where did they marry?

According to an Ancestry tree, Eileen died in 1935 and Alfred re-married to Rose Hannah Rudge - but I am guessing you know this!
This has been recorded re. marriage:

Victoria, Australia
Booth is given as BOTTH, Reg. No. 1427

Will do, but you can also search family trees with marriage details of above - there are only two!
Maybe Tenerife Sun can find marriage if Booth has been mis-transcribed as Botth??

There are also British Army WW1 records for him but is he the right Alfred??
War records, there's quite a few, says he was a carpenter and so did the Australian Electoral Roll. One page says that part of his pay was allotted to Mrs E Booth but the page is partly damaged and not dated.

Sorry Mark, Iv'e probably given you a load of stuff that you didn't really want and still not answered your question about children! Sorry I can't help but wonder why if they were married in 1930 Eileen wasn't listed with Alfred in 1831
