Thankyou very much for your time, and imfo, just given the three girls name of Blake, names only, no year of births, then went onto, Buckinghamshire, and found the marriages in that county, its only hearsay??? but, the may have been adopted, as their father Albert Blake had died, and Rosetta their mother married to A.E.Hardy, very many thanks.Margaret.

Name: Albert Blake
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1918
Registration district: West Ham
Inferred County: Essex
Spouse: Rosetta Gillingham
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 674
This doesn't fit with Dorothy etc being their child?
Is Albert perhaps a brother?
-
1939 Rosetta HARDY b 9/9/1899 (so she can't have been having children that same year!)
in Stoke Newington with Arthur E HARDY (dob 25/04/1900)
added - she is the sister of Lewis A GILLINGHAM who is at Prune cottage Ayelsbury in 1939.
(1901 census)
-
Thankyou mckha489, Albert Blake is the father.Margaret.
-
Are you saying they are the children of Albert BLAKE and a previous wife? Rosetta GILLINGHAM being a second wife?
-
Thankyou, no worries, Margaret.
-
I was just typing this up, when yours came in, so will finish, but sounds like you might know it all in any case
marriage of Rosetta BLAKE to Alfred Edward HARDY is , according to a tree on ancestry with no source, 23 May 1924.
So looking for BLAKE children with GILLINGHAM mother between 1918 and 1924 have (from FreeBMD)

That seems correct thankyou so much, just trying to find who was Albert Blakes first marriage, he remarried in 1918, a widower, I think aged 43, when his second marriage to Gillingham in 1918, no worries, will still keep looking, thankyou.Margaret.

Possible Marriages
Blake Rosetta I Tubb Edmonton 5e 778
Tubb Eric S W Blake Edmonton. 5e 778
Blake Dorothy B George Edmonton 3a 3785
George Henry J A Blake Edmonton 3a 3785
Georgina H G died in 1924
ANd you have Maria already
-
So if I've followed this correctly, the Buckinghamshire family are a different family?
-
Lewis Gillingham in Aylesbury is a brother of Rosetta Gillingham who married Blake.
I have no idea who Mary Wakelin is.
I think that Marriage of Marie G to Edmund Mead you found must be correct.
I think the Dorothy M m Reynolds was a wild goose chase (which was a shame becaus I was a bit interested in a Reynolds connection)
OP trying to identify Albert BLAKE. Presuming he died between 1921 and 1924 one I can see that fits the age suggested is
Deaths Mar 1922
Blake Albert 50 Pancras 1b 60
I wonder what his occupation at the 1924 marriage is
Added ..if he was a licensed victualled in poplar, then his wife Maude died in 1917and they had no children
-
