Marriage Look-up please
« on: Monday 28 May 18 19:30 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful for a marriage look-up.

The marriage took place in July 1916 at All Saints Church, Cheritona St., Folkestone, Kent,
Between:  Herbert Emery Smith and Priscilla Dew.

If possible I would like to know the name recorded for Priscilla's father and occupation.  Also, the name of the witness.

TIA

Tilly

She was Priscilla L W Dew but no birth reg so she may have been a widow.

When and where did she die and did she die as Smith?

Hi Carole

She emigrated to Canada in about 1919, under the name of Smith.  As I don't have a worldwide subscription I'm not able to confirm any details such as death or whether she remarried.

But what I really need is to ascertain whether this lady is the one I am looking for.

Sticking with the original request:

I haven't found Folkestone parish registers online, so unless a Rootschatter has access to the PRs it may mean having to purchase a copy of the certificate.  Details are:
Marriage Sep qtr 1916 Elham vol 2a p2401 - SMITH Herbert E, DEW Priscilla L W

From what I've found it looks like she gave herself the first name of Priscilla.

Born as Lily Winifred May Hamblin on 1/5/1891 Maisemore, Gloucester to Walter Henry Hamblin and Kate Brooks (married 1890).  In 1901 she is living with grandparents and shown as Lillian.

She supposedly married an Albert Henry Dew ca.1909 (cannot trace) with whom she had 3 children: Albert Henry Dew b.1909, d.1923, Georgina May Dew b.27/5/1911, Winifred Kate Dew b.6/12/1912.

Census shows Albert bc.1890 London (cannot trace birth) and he died in Gloucester in 1913.

She then remarries as Priscilla L W Dew to Herbert Emery Smith (born 1894 Toronto, Ontario) who was part of Canadian Expeditionary Force.  They had 5 children: Edna May Smith b.22/7/1917 Cardiff, Herbert John Smith b.17/6/1920 Toronto and William Lorenz Smith b.12/12/1921 Toronto, James Emery Smith b.10/10/1926 Toronto plus a further son.

Herbert Emery Smith died 1975 and supposedly she is said to have married again ca.1980 (when 89 years old??) and died in Toronto in 1986.

Found them on 1921 Toronto Census, and she's dropped 4 years off her age, shown as Priscilla and says she was born in USA!!!! (untrue), her father born England (true) and mother USA (untrue).

The Dew children seemed to remain in the UK but I don't know with whom.
