All Souls, Cheriton Street - Marriage look up

[tillyc]

I am looking for confirmation of a marriage and wondered if someone could check the parish records for me, please?

Marriage between Herbert Emery Smith & Priscilla L W Dew took place somewhere between July - Sept 1916. (Free BMD Sept 1916 Elham).  I believe that they may have been married at All Souls Church, Cheriton Street, Folkstone.

TIA

Cheriton, All Souls
1916 1st Jul, By Banns
SMITH Herbert Emery, Ba, age 21, abode Ross Barracks, occupation Soldier, father Henry, occupation Dec.
DEW Priscilla Lillian Winifred, W, age 21, abode 45 High Street, occupation Dom. servant, father Harry HAMBLIN occupation Miner.
Witnesses: Charles BOSTOCK, Ruth SMITH.

Now Herbert's father Henry's occupation, at first I thought it was short for decorator, but it's against several other occupations so I assume it's short for Deceased.

  Betty - out of interest can you tell me where you found that? FindMyPast, which is my go-to source, do not seem to have those records.

On a KFHS CD, no. 35, only a few years for Banns & Baptisms, but Marriages go up to 1940 (no burials)

  That's interesting - I think FMPast have some information from them, but obviously not these marriages!

Hi Tilly
The house that Priscilla worked in I used to drive past every day for years and my dentist was almost next door
It was up for sale a while back. Some pictures here

Betty, thank you so much you have helped breakdown my brick wall!  I wasn't sure if this lady was the one, I have been searching for some time.

Thanks

Just curiosity

Marriage cert shows her as a widow aged 21 - maiden name appears to be Hamblin but there is no Hamblin/Dew marriage

No Hamblin or Dew birth

Was she born somewhere other than England/Wales/Scotland
