1n 1909 Herbert Leslie Mumford married Emily Barber. In 1920 they lived in Granchester, nr Cambridge. Emily died 1922.
In 1924 Leslie H Mumford married Jessie G Brown in Cambridge. They had a daughter Poppy, b 1926, and from 1929 they were living in Impington, nr Cambridge.
Herbert died Cambridge 13 Mar 1973 - age 88
I'm trying to find Herbert's (or Leslie's) parents. Can anyone help.?
-
Who does he name as his father on the two marriage certs?
(Are you sure they are the same people btw?)
Death info implies a birth around 1885 - have you looked for a birth, or looked for him on 1891/1901/1911 censuses?

so looks like it was Martha that married Edward Mumford and they were Leslie/Herberts parents

This could be Harriet on the 1891 as a widow but with a son Francis (birth record shows MMN - Jermy)
Harriet Mumford wid 31 b. Harlow, Essex

Thank you both ..... again.
All looks good.

Yes - Harriet!!!!! That's what I meant!
I typed that 1871 census up 4 times and each time just as I pressed "post" the internet blipped and I lost it. I nearly gave up ..... and obviously should have done ! I was nearly throwing the laptop out the window.
-
I was with you for a while, now I am completely lost. My understanding is that Edward Mumford married Emily Jermy in 1880.
Leslie Herbert Mumford was born q1 1885 - mothers name Jermy. I assumed Emily Jermy.
I am not clear were Martha fits in???

SORRY ... Edward married HARRIET. NOT Emily. Still not sure about Martha?
-
Edward Mumford married Harriet Jermy
I made an error when I said Martha in reply#9 (in the same way as you put Emily instead of Harriet, I went and put Martha!). JJen pointed it out in reply#11.
Martha is Harriett's mum on 1871.
This is the same Martha who is Leslie Mumford's Grandmother on the later censuses, thus confirming we are on the right track
-
Now I understand, thank you.
