I'm leaning towards this birth:

Births Mar 1895 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wickham Mabel Gwendoline E Wells 5c 489

Will try census for 1901 & 1911 to see who she is with

That one has a father Thomas! At least she can be ruled out.

My reply has gone AWOL! Liverbird, the Emily may come in as she went by her middle name as a lot of people did. The only Wickham c1895 -/+1 living with a father Herbert.

Liverbird - that Mabel Wickham you found in 1911 has the "wrong" parents ( Harry and Alice).

LiverBird1

LiverBird1 Report 9 Jan 2011 00:06

She must be the Emily in 1911 with parents Herbert and Maud??
, but on her marriage and death she's just recorded as Mabel ??

**Ann** Report 9 Jan 2011 00:20

How strange ladies, I always go down that road when all else fails, simply that my mum, nan and me.....all our lives were known by our middle names..........however when it came to official docs we all reverted to our correct given name, which is what you would think would be the norm!

thank you all for looking for mabel wickham ,i had found most of them , the one when she is down as emily is the one i think is the nearest , she is my grandmother, , but my parents divorced when i was young and my father went to Australia (her son) so i never had chance to ask him about her
i have got their marriage certifcate also her death certifcate, but nothing about her birth. i live in Great Wakering where she is buried and on the grave she is down as Mabel Emily

Hrllo Shirley,

I take it you do not know who her siblings were, are there any wirnesses on the marriage cert that might give clues?

On the 1911 original Emily is still listed as born in Maidstone. Eight children born, six still living then.I still can't find the birth reg of Emily anywhere.
