No, that's her death registration place!

I can get back from Robert ok census etc  but its this Prudence issue which is bugging me.
Ok then she could have come from Wis after all!

Wisbech could be a useful clue.  The only Prudence born in Norfolk in the correct quarter was this one:

Prudence Olive DAVIS Sep qtr 1902 Freebridge Lynn 4b 302

(I think Freebridge Lynn borders on Wisbech registration district?)

Did as you suggested re children and think I have found her!!  found one of childrens births which gives maiden name of mother( Waterfield) then searched 1911 census for Prudence, no luck but found Prudy Waterfield  born right year, family in Horse dealing which fits as Roberts family on 1901 census were Hawkers which fits family storys also some of her siblings have weird names which were passed on to her and Roberts children.
Thanks a lot without the tips would not have got this far and have been puzzling over this for months

Brilliant!

I see no fewer than 9 Kidd/Waterfield births registered 1923-1934, all in Erpingham district.

You mention hawkers & horse dealers and unusual names.  Were they travellers/Roma?  If so they may not have had an official marriage but instead followed traditional nuptial rites in their community.
