Tks to everyone for your kind assistance with the mysterious Babbs.  The quality and promptness of your replies has been overwhelming and I am so grateful.

Everyone of you has found at least one new piece of information. Quick checks I have done today, show everything to be relevant to Elizabeth Babb, her bigamous relationships and brood of children with ever changing names and birthplaces.

A new marriage has been discovered, a possible closer link with the Mundy family - why would Lizzy give her son exactly the same first names as her sister Kathleen? - and it seems likely that Elizabeth was also using her mother's surname Jewell.

Brilliant!!!
