In 1939 reg. three children are living with Walter and Rosalie in Stapleford ; Ronald 1917, Reginald 1921 and Gwennie 1923.

I found Herbert W Worboys married Miriam Ketteridge 1938, Cambridge 3b 1446, but could't see them in the 1939 reg.
There is a death notice for Herbert, 12 May 1954 Cambridge, which records his death 12 May 1952

Ethel A Worboys married Henry W Squires 1936. Living in Cambridge in 1939.

Still looking for Rosalie's transition from Mead to Lawrence.

[LizzieL]

To recap: Children of Rosalie so far
Winifred May Cole (Warboys on 1911 census) birth reg 1905  Q3 Royston Vol 03A P 741 mmn - (implied Cole - illegitimate)
Percy Warboys (on 1921 census) b 1911 birth reg not found, nor any trace of him after 1921
Ethel Annie Warboys (on 1921 census) birth reg  1912 Q4  Chesterton mmn Mead
Walter H Worboys (on 1921 census) birth reg as Herbert Walter 1915 Chesterton mmn Mead, birth date 19 Dec 1915 (from baptism record)
Ronald A (on 1921 census) 1917 birth reg 1917 Q3 Chesterton 3B 592 mmn Lawrence
Reginald G Warboys birth reg 1921 Q3 Chesterton 3b 741 mmn Lawrence   
Gwennie Rosella Emily Worboys birth reg 1923 Q3 Chesterton 3b 682 mmn Lawrence   

The change from Mead to Lawrence seems to have happened between 1915 and 1917.
Rosalie was born Mead mmn Fuller, but her mother was widowed when Rosalie was abt 2yrs old and subsequently married Thomas Cole.
 Percy is the odd one, only found in 1921, presumably born just after the 1911 census, and never seen again. Can't find him as Cole, Mead, Lawrence or Worboys, unless he was not registered as Percy,

Added.
Walter Worboys married Rosalie Lawrence Q4 1915, Herbert Walter / Walter Herbert was registered with mmn Mead in Q1 1915, but baptism says birthdate 19 Dec 1915, could that be error on record and he was born in Dec 1914?

May be a complete co-incidence but
Going back to Rosalie's mother Ann(ie) Fuller. In 1891, she has married Thomas Cole as the widowed Annie Mead. On the census there are several children with Thomas and Annie

Walter M? b abt 1874 Duxford (Linton RD)
Emily b abt 1875 Wimbish (Saffron Walden RD)
Rose (our Rosalie)
Arthur George b 1884 (posthumously according to baptism)
Thomas  b 1888
Annie 1991

All using surname Cole, as Thomas was bachelor when he married Annie, the first 4 children are hers. The large gap between Emily and Rosalie made me think that Annie had an earlier marriage before Mr Mead.

Then I found Ann Fuller married to George Lawrence 1873 Q3 Linton district.

In 1880 Ann Lawrence marries in Linton distict - one possible groom is George Mead

Are these two Anns the same person and is she Rosalie's mother?

Well done LizzieL, excellent research that answers missing links, and ties together nicely.
