Her father was Alfred Jackson and she married Arthur Jackson

EDIT

Opening post says :
Her father is recorded as Alfred Hebdon, gardener, deceased on her 1910 wedding certificate

Hmm that's what was worrying me! On her wedding certificate in 1915 (2nd marriage) she said her father was called Alfred Jackson, deceased, gardener. But then she also said her name was Freda Emily Burgess so no idea what was going on!

She does appear to come out of nowhere!

Also I can't see a marriage or death for her father that fits the given facts. Maybe she made the name up.

In a previous post I asked for information about an Arthur Jackson who married a Freda Burgess. Thanks to people's help I now know that his name was James Arthur Jackson who was imprisoned for bigamy in 1920.

Freda Burgess as I know her, was actually Freda Hebdon who appears as Freda Jackson in the 1911 census, living with Arthur in Leeds. Her birth place is listed as Finchley, Hertfordshire; however I can't find a record of this birth. Can anybody help? Her father is recorded as Alfred Hebdon, gardener, deceased on her 1910 wedding certificate to Arthur. I don't know where the name Burgess came from. She also sometimes included the middle name Emily.
