Goodness, you have been busy! I go to the supermarket and come back to all this.
The Oxford Reuben is on the various censuses, but I do think he is a red herring, AMBLY. I am not sure about the Albert E in the Army, either, but thanks for looking!
I am amazed at the Davies business!! Well done for finding them.
In the 1911 they are living (ubder the names in my first post) at 15 Treherne Road.
So, need to get those Reuben Strange Death Certs.
My mother knows nothing, my Aunt (old and ill) was close to her mother and said "Penny shouldn't bother, there were some very naughty girls....."
Do you think Eunice was carrying on with father and son, or two brothers? Hence changed their name when went to Cardiff. Or father and son? Was James Strange's father's name Edward?
They were a confusing lot, and the Gloucestershire Stranges and Perretts were a rum lot, right at the bottom of the heap. Someone was lying; if you brilliant people have any other suggestions about how to unravel this, please fire away.
Cooking supper - beef and potato curry since you ask - will return later.
Many thanks to all.
