A marriage in Islington 1912

Does that 1913 death certificate give an address for A Williams

Yes, 83 Queensland Road, Islington

Alice’s baptism shows that her birthdate was 3 October 1866. Have you tried filtering the 1939 Alice Williams by precise birthdate? Of course she may not have survived to 1939.

I'm not sure you can search the 1939 Register with the exact birthdate (using FindMyPast at least). In any event, quoted birthdates there are notoriously inaccurate when you see the full entry, at least in my experience.

You can search the 1939 Register by exact birthdate, and that is one of the features that makes it so useful. The birthday (day/month) seems to slip less frequently than the birth year.

Anyway I’m not seeing her unfortunately. I also can’t see a death of an Alice Evangeline Williams on the GRO website between 1913-1957, other than a 17 yr old (in Stockport, 1914) who isn’t yours.

Thank you.  In multiple occupation in 1911 so no leads there

Hi Rosie

Yes, I've just been checking up on those other births (Giles mmn Craxford) and deaths. Seems that Alice had eight children in total and that she had taken up with Evan Williams by 1902. I would suspect that the 1912 marriage is between this Evan and Alice. The marriage certificate would prove that.

Question remains: where did her husband Alfred Edward Giles go? I've accumulated a number of bigamous relationships along the way and it isn't always as simple as it seems. Divorce was very expensive and very difficult to obtain. It also seems that if the couple had been split for ten years - and they could claim that they had no idea where their ex-partner was or even still alive, then the subsequent marriage could well be considered not bigamous. The ten year gap between the 1901 census and the 1912 marriage could well justify that.

As an aside, I have to admit that following Alice Angeline was initially only a side issue from that of her brother William James Craxford, a blind organist in Lincolnshire who died young and his four children ended up in the London Infant Orphan Asylum.

Cheers Alan

Have you ruled out the man in this couple? They appear in a number of trees on Anc.

Alfred Edward Giles and Zillah Jane Hoare. There's no apparent marriage for the couple but they appear to have had 7 children between 1905 and 1919.
