There is a Cicely Caroline H BEACH born 1888 in Chelsea who would be old enough to have a child in 1908. Only Cicely BEECH/BEACH I can find.
Can you find her in the census Barbara.

Hello,Ian,Barbara.
Ican not thankyou enough for all your help.
as i said to Barbara,i was sending you a thankyou when a WARNING came up on my post.
Mum can remember after the funeral,she had a chat with 2 other people about gertrude.although they said they had no knowledge why her surname was differant,mum had a feeling they knew more about gertrude.
Ihave to say im sorry ,but i misunderstood about Cisely.
Mum told me she does not no who Cisely was,she just called her,Aunt Cis.
On my first message i mentioned,edith,charles fostered many children.
Do you think Cisely may have been one of those children?
One other thing i do remember,i was looking at the commonwealth war graves,and a Alfred Horace Beech,died,20 september 1915,aged 18.Grenadier Guards.
His parents names were,Charles,Edith.J,Beech.
Address,1 council Cottage,Catts Place,Paddock Wood,Kent.
Mum has told me that is the place she used to visit as a child with her mum(gertrude)and dad(Albert Watling).
One of the people mum spoke to was alberts and gertrudes bridesmaids,she was 9 years of age in 1934.
im sorry to say,there is no wedding certificate.
