Edith may have married just at the start of the War, hubby goes off, so no children, he then returns at the end of the War, and the children come along,

Hi MargP and CaroleW,
Glad to see my topic has been moved back to Worcestershire. I've just sent a email off to James David's gr granddaughter. Hopefully it won't be long for an answer with regards to the 1925 letter.

Hi Carole and Marg,
Just received what I hope is good news. The archives just emailed me this information:

Thank you for your enquiry concerning the Electoral Register for Kidderminster for 1925.

 I have checked the printed volumes of the registers and in 1925 William and Edith Jones and Alice and William Young were living at 35 St Albans Square.

 Unfortunately adoption records do not go as far back as 1900.

 As suggested in our previous correspondence a search of the local newspapers for the time would probably offer some information.

 I hope that this information is helpful and good luck with your continued search.

I am presently checking the BMD for marriage to William Jones.

Hi Marg,
Am going to order that marriage certificate. I can't believe how long it takes to receive certificates from England. ::)
Just been trying to peruse family trees in ancestry and am finding it a hard task. I don't suppose that anything is to easy.
