I am seeking on information on the marriage of this gentleman b 1863 Otterbourne Hants son of Charles Stratton b1833 and Mary Lock b1842.
There appears confusion with his brother George or a Henry George.
A candidate is Laura Westbrook but checking on BMD she did not marry him.
There are according to my tree 3 children there is Jessie Mary & GRO confirm mothers name Westbrook.
Tried the same exercise on the other children John Henry and Fredrick Edward but could not find anything on GRO.
Another candidate was Alice Hopkins but cannot match a marriage to Harry
There is 1889 a marriage to one George Stratton and in 1890 a marriage to Alfred Hitchcock!!
George Stratton married Rosina Tucker in Dec 1894 at Sothampton
Convoluted situation, so any assistance greatly appreciated!! David

Having had a look at the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 Censuses with its mix of Stratton/Edmonds I checked for a death. Is this Harry's death?
Harry Stratton, 4th qtr 1904, South Stoneham, 2C 40 - age 41 (born 1863)

Thank You, I believe so..

A Laura Westbrook married a William Henry Edmonds, 2nd qtr 1884
The 1891 Census has William and Laura Edmonds with sons William and Cecil
The 1901 Census has Harry Stratton and "wife" Laura with 3 Edmonds children (including a Cecil) and 2 Stratton children.
Probable death Harry Stratton 1904
The 1911 Census has William and Laura Edmonds with 2 Edmonds children and 3 Stratton children - William/Laura married 6 years
In 1905 a Laura Stratton married a William Edmunds.
Is this the family?

I think you could be right! have a commitment at the moment but will check.
Thank yoh very much!

A quick response. Are the William Edmunds married in 1884 and William Edmunds married in 1905 different guys..?
So, married a Wiiliam 1884...then living with Harry Stratton...he died..then so married a William..?

Have you compared the 1891 Census William Edmonds with the 1911 William Edmonds?
-
Laura married a William Henry Edmonds in 1884. There is a possible death -
William Henry Edmonds, 4th qtr 1895, age 43, Winchester, 2C 78. Calculated YoB = 1852, slightly different to 1891 Census 1855, but Twyford falls within the Winchester registration district.
