In reply to JohnP-bedford post 110. I'd rather not quote to avoid too much text and perhaps making a mess.
Good afternoon, (08/07/2023) sorry for the slow reply.
I need to check through these posts one by one to take on board new information and maybe add some information myself that Richmond Parka has also helped with.
The 1911 Census shows Henry Hamblin as Head of family aged 42, born St Pancras, London, and signed by him.
Completed years of the present marriage has lasted - 20.
Beatrice Hamblin - Wife, age 38, born Luton.
1st of 8 children alive listed was Violet Hamblin, age 19, born St Pancras.
Checking Violet Mabel Ellen's birth certificate we can see that she was born 18/06/1891 in Pancras. Mother's maiden named is Beatrice Lilian Turner. No entry of father.
1911 Census shows us the 2nd child was Henry Hamblin, age 15, born Hammersmith.
Henry Hamblin's birth certificate shows us, born 05/01/1896, name Henry George, father Henry Hamblin (cab driver), mother Beatrice Lillian Hamblin formerly Turner, living in Shepherds Bush.
As for Henry Hamblin & Beatrice Turner's marriage & certificate, i'm afraid to say i do not have this information. I can only assume that a marriage did take place and perhaps it could have been in the Pancras, Hammersmith, Fulham or Shepherds Bush areas.
I did a search for them from 1891 to 1906 using FreeBDM nothing came up.
I've just dug up a photocopy i had put away, of the Irish marriage certificate, dated 4th April 1920 of Mary Violet Hamblin (Violet Mabel Ellen Turner) with a James Clare. Her address was Peters Place, Hammersmith, father Henry Hamblin, taxi driver.
