John William Tomkins married Edith Emily Carter in St George Hanover Sq in Dec 1/4 of 1893 ref 1a page 902.

HI Maelys

Sorry to say she was not- John Tomkins married Edith Emily Carter as above (1893).

Edith Emily Chaundy married William Bowell in 1895.

Is it the Tomkins family you are following- if so if you give us the more recent names and dates we will find them for you.Is one of their children your ancestor?

Later I will attempt to find both girls births.........off to babysit soon 
Unless anyone else can find them whilst I'm gone.

To help you sort out the two Edith Emily's,here is Edith Tomkins and family in 1911.

Note how she says she was married for 18 years(ie 1893) making it true that it WAS the John William Tomkins and Edith Emily Carter marriage in St George Hanover Sq in Dec 1/4 of 1893. See my posting at 22-35 on 11th Sept.

Hello Sue and a warm welcome to Rootschat.

I'm sure Maelys will be very pleased to be in touch.....although I think it's the 'other' Edith Emily she's descended from.

Thanks for sharing that info with us

Hi there

Do you have that cert yet- please put us out of our misery when you do 
Which Edith Emily is the right one?
