Who were the wives of Charles Davis, New Malden?

[groom]

Not quite as daunting as it sounds as I think there are only about 5 or 6 without middle names.

[Mabel Bagshawe]

have been trying to find the link with Frederick Aubrey Waight, in case that helps, but not sure it does much. His father  was Frederick thomas James Waight and mother Harriett Frances, nee Ford. they married in London. Fred snr remarries an Ann(ie) Deney in the mid 1860s. He is a plumber, glazier and painter.

Thanks everyone for your help. He doesn't mention 2nd wife at all, save for the fact that he requests for locks of hair and bundles of correspondance relating to the 3 wives to be placed in his coffin with him. His first wife, Fanny is described as his 'sainted wife' - he was buried with her and a child that died. His third wife he describes as: "without going into the question of whether she has been a good wife to me, lets just say for arguements sake she has not... Unfortuanately her temperament is that she makes no friends and the result will be that after my death she will with her children be plunged into poverty and misery"... his will has a number of codecils, and he leaves money for her and their children. He also asked for a plaque to be erected in his memory in Christchurch, New Malden.

I've just looked that one up... I think you may have found it! Thanks

In effect yes - it's from the parish register ( images on A*y ) . The certificate would be exactly the same.

You updated while I was still posting - glad it's right !

Georgina A Weiss was a vocalist according the 1871 census (wid, 44 b Gloucester, living in Finchley).

The other vocalist in the household, Frederick Small, went on to marry Georgina's daughter Georgina Angelique Weiss.  As Georgina Angelique Small she was granted probate of her mother's estate after her death as Georgina Ansell Davis in Brighton in 1880.
