Herbert Denne - Elizabeth Watts

[JOHNYP]

Hello
I'm looking for any information regarding Herbert Denne and Elizabeth Watts.
Herbert Denne was born in Dalton London in 1885, Elizabeth Watts Was born in Wales About 1886!!.
I have been told by a family member that they both worked together at Trentham Gardens before it was demolished in 1911. I am not sure if they ever Married but they had 5 children.
Herbert denne died in Stoke on Trent in 1966 after spending some time working in Nottingham, 3 of the children were born in Nottingham, Elizabeth denne or Watts died in Nottingham 1982.
Does anyone have any information regarding Trentham gardens before 1911 and how I could search for the names of staff that was employed  by the then duke of Sutherland.
I know this is a bit of a long shot but any help in this matter would be a great.

Thanks John

Elizabeth's death reg shows her birthyear as 1892

Elizabeth Denne born 9 Jun 1892 - aged 90
June qtr 1982  Nottingham Vol 8 Page 0996

Herbert denne died in Stoke on Trent in 1966

There is no death in 1966 for him in Stoke as Herbert Denne - could this be him although birthyear is 1896?

3 of the children were born in Nottingham

There are no Denne/Watts births in Notts.  I suspect you are referring to marriages of the children in Notts

Freebmd has 4 Denne/Watts births

1919 - Edmonton
1921 St George Hanover Sq
1924 Hackney
1927 Hackney

Looking at WWI records there is a Herbert Deene from Hornsey b 1884, a clerk by calling, in the East Surrey regiment - problem here is he married someone else in 1917 and they appear to be still  together on the electoral register in 1932

There is also a Herbert Fdk Wm Denne with a medal card for the Notts & Derbyshire regiment - no 10454

There is a Herbert Denne baptism on 8.6.1884 at Wood Green
Parents William & Elizabeth but I can't decipher William's occupation

The free 1911 index shows him still living in Edmonton with his mother and siblings
