TY Ann, yes that is 'my' George Coomber

TY all for helping. The connection I can't find (maybe because there isn't one) is if that is Gertrude, then is her father Thomas related in any way to George. Perhaps via Henry Coomber 1835?

I am trying to see if there is a connection to Gertrude and Charles. I haven't come across the Coomber name much, and looking for another relative, I saw a marriage of the two. I have a Coomber on one branch of the tree, and they tied into the Taylors on another branch, all from the same area. I got as much information as I could but not what I needed. They may be no relation at all, and TY Gins, yes I am aware of the details on certificates...bit expensive from Australia, especially when they may not be related at all.
I was hoping that I could eliminate, or include them by connecting them with known Coombers on my tree (which I have very few of).

TY Andrew. I had seen that one, but I thought there may be 2 Gertrudes born in 1891, one married in 1912 and the other 1920, unless the same woman married twice. Can you link that one with a marriage to Charles Taylor?

I am looking for the parents and other possible information regarding Gertrude.
Born 1891 Malling Kent. Married Charles Taylor 1920 Lewisham.
I am interested to know if there is any connection to a George Coomber, 1870, son of Henry Coomber and Elizabeth Brett. George married Alice Smith 1894. George was born in Bethnal Green, but his mother came from Kent.
I am also interested in Charles' parents/siblings.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
