woodbine`s of lambeth

[lawr]

Hi All

I am quite new to serching my family, okay on some parts but having difficulty with my London side of the tree.
All i know is that my grandma`s parents were Ernest Matthew Woodbine b abt 1890 in Newington and married Eizabeth J Bennett on the 23 dec 1910, she was born i believe abt 1887, the only other thing i have been told is his farther was called James.

If any one can help or give advice where to find out about them, as i have tryed a few census a seem to get stuck, thanks in advance.

Ms Bennett may prove to be more of a challenge - depends on a couple of things like stated age being correct, and can one assume she was from the area?

Probably easiest to use the 1911 census to obtain her birthplace etc?

[gortonboy]

eliza consistently gives her birthplace as newington..
