before I go round the bend

bit of background...( NB if the names Whetman/Langford sound familiar they were mentioned in passing on a thread some years back, but as there was a second marriage the info on that thread won't help)

Georgina Mary Whetman (b 1864 Thames Ditton ) m Robert Langford in 1888, (one daughter Georgina Mary born 1889)

Georgina then remarried in 1891 to Charles Lunn,

this is them in 1901. so far so good, all past is already researched thanks.

Daughter Georgina born 1889, marries in 1915, although the Mary is used as first name, I am sure it's the right one as Georgina Mary Lunn ( mother) is a witness, (late) father Robert langford, occupation correct

Oh I am just going round in circles now, because I've just realised it's Sidney with an i , which makes this a possible birth but out of area

I'm still talking to myself Jude lol , and wondering if this could be the Mary 'helen' ellen? it's the same area of birth as Sidney, but then that would mean the mother gave birth to Mary and then whooshed over to Kingston to give birth to Georgina in the same year :-S

Ah thank you Maureen , no I hadn't noticed that but makes sense as I found Sidney listed at 'Wayside Farm' on the electoral rolls, after he evidently moved out of parent's home. edit, sorry not paying attention there that IS the father ...hmmm , will investigate further :-)

Thankyou :-)

Thanks Maureen,

I've just got going on this branch again really in order to positively eliminate that my 'missing' gt aunt Harriet L Whetman didn't suddenly appear with her sisters late on in life . But I got a bit sidetracked by the wonderful name 'Gaskoin', I hadn't seen it spelled like that before. :-D
