According to the 1911 census Arthur and Sarah Herridge had 8 children, 1 died.

Frederick William 1874-1940

Gertrude Ellen Louisa 1881-1975
Florence Isabel b 1883, married William Charles Vine Clark in 1903

On paper it looks it must be either Edith or Florence but cannot find a death.

Any help would be appreciated

I have found Edith in 1901 and 1911 censuses..she is a milliner? Perhaps somebody could post them (can’T do it on the IPad)

She is transcribed as Edith Kanin 1901 but almost sure it is her because there is aGertrude also middle name mis transcribed

Strange she married twice in her maiden name....two people, not divorced?.

I would say definitely not divorced - simply not enough time between marriages

One possibility is annulment.............

It would be interesting to see how William Clarke described himself when he re-married

I've searched high and low and can't find the marriage to William Charles Vine Clark(e) in 1903-4.

Can someone post it, please? I must be missing something.

I can see the Banns notice, but no sign of registration of a marriage.

15th November was the date of the first calling of the banns. Second and third callings were on 22 and 29 November.

The marriage would have been AFTER 29th November - but I see no sign of it. Perhaps they called the wedding off ??

Or am I just not seeing it?

When he does marry in 1910, he's a bachelor:

Oh, well done Argyll Gran!!!

The whole mystery solved in one fell swoop

We all took it for granted that the info helina posted about a marriage was accurate, and didn't think to check.

So, nobody lied to the vicar - what a relief. LOL!

Thank you fellow researches, been out all day and worn out so will go though information given to morrow, the information I found was from the census, GRO Records and FreeBMD

helina

Well done AG...I did check for the marriage Erika but, like AG, couldn’t find it but unlike AG did not twig that maybe it was called off ??

According to an article on their Diamond Wedding...(possibly more items, if you have time to search!)

(so still one missing, as given on 1911, perhaps her Maiden Name was spelt different on below, try with different spelling options they give you)
