Find Ancestors

I have found a marriage certificate for the above couple, June 1905, at Wandsworth London, but I can not seem to find if they had any children or grand children.It is believed that they did.
Any help would be very much appreciated thank you.
Regards and Seasons wishes to all.
Colin.

Hi Colin

This appears to be the marriage:

Marriages Jun 1905 (>99%)
>>> Goodey Florence Lydia Wandsworth 1d 1122
Gregory William Philip Wandsworth 1d 1122
>>> HARDING Harold Ernest Wandsworth 1d 1122
WATTS Alice Maud Wandsworth 1d 1122

There are a number of births after 1911 (this is when the Mothers maiden name began to show on the index), however there is another marriage in West Ham that could account for these:

Coincidence that this groom is Harry Ernest (Harold Ernest)??
:-0

After this time, we begin to go to dates where people can still be living so details cannot be posted here.

If you use FreeBMD, you may be able to find if any of the above married, or a copy of a Birth cert, would confirm parents.

This could possibly the birth registration for Florence:

This is the second marriage that Vanessa found

this is an Index-only record, so it is not possible to look at the image to check all details ...............

but it does look like just a coincidence, or possibly cousins????

Ernest also served in WW1, from 5th Sept 1914 to March 1920. There is a form in his records that gives his address as 10/75 Rochester Place, Kentish Town, in 1920 and another which gives his address as 40 Queens St?, Camden Town in 1921.

There is also a letter from his wife which has a received stamp dated 10th May 1921 and has the Flat 10, 75 Rochester Place address.

His medal card is on Ancestry; he received the 1914 Star with Clasp & Roses, the Victory & British medals.

There is an Ernest Harding living at 40 Queens St in 1922, but his name is shown as Ernest James and he is living with an Emily Caroline Harding. There is a marriage in 1921 for an Ernest James Harding and an Emily Caroline Stevens in St Pancras.

There is ref in the Army records to the link given by Chris Ho.

Re the post above from Potty above, the marriage of Ernest James Harding and Emily Caroline Stevens :

Name: Ernest James Harding
Spouse: Emily ?? Stevens
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 12 Jun 1921
Parish: St Pancras Old St Pancras
Borough: Camden
Father Name: Ernest James Harding
Spouse Father: Walter Thomas Hall
Register Type: Parish Register

Ernest James Harding the groom is an army clothing inspector, his father is also Ernest James Harding a deceased carpenter. Emily was a widow, her father Walter Thomas Hall was a decorator. The page is covered in what looks like ink blots so other details aren't that easy to read, Emily's second name Caroline is mostly covered by one such blot.

The couple both give 28 B????ay St as their address.

Hi all, thank you so much to all you wonderful people that have come up with all this information. It's taking me a bit of time to digest it. I must admit that it is so confusing and I'm wondering if I am tangled up with more than one family of Hardings. They all seem to have the same variations of forenames.
I will do a bit more studying and get back here. Watch this space LOL
Please keep it coming. I did post a thread on the " Find living relatives " board, Looking for Kenneth William Harding and the reason for my search. Please take a look.
Many thanks again.
Colin.
