[bobtonks]

In 1911 Walter Worboys is living in Water Street Chesterton Cambridge.
Living with him are Rosalie and Winifred May Worboys , wife and daughter.

In 1921 Walter is living in Stapleford, Cambs with Rosalie and four children
Percy 1911, Ethel Annie 1912, Walter H 1915 and Ronald A 1917.
There was also a Gwennie Rosella Emily Worboys born 1923 to Walter and Rosalie,  Stapleford

Can anyone see a maiden name for Rosalie and did Walter and Rosalie marry?

Gwennie R E WORBOYS 3 1923 Chesterton 3b 682 mmn LAWRENCE

Walter WORBOYS & Rosalie LAWRENCE 4 1915 Luton 3B 1366

Possibly a late marriage ? Have you found birth records for the other children ?

I think you mean Ethel A
There's a Herbert Walter mmn Mead in Chesterton in 1915. Is he the Walter H on census with forenames switched?

[LizzieL]

Theory:
Rosalie Mead marries a Mr Lawrence, they split up and she meets Walter. They have several children registered as if they were married. Mr Lawrence dies (or maybe there's a divorce) in 1915, allowing Rosalie and Walter to marry.
As to the anomaly of maiden names: maybe the register asked what was the mother's former surname rather than maiden surname when one or other parent registered the births.

Now need to find the evidence
