Hi

I'm looking for

Edward James William Kisbee, born Dover 1877
Wife: Catherine Kisbee, nee Fox (might be born Radcliffe, London) 1880

children: Robert Henry Kisbee born 1899, Dover

The story is that Edward was a regular with the buffs and so when his wife died in 1907 in childbirth he put all children into a RC orphanage (but managed to marry and have more children 3 years later).

So, I thought I'd try and check it out. On Robert's birth cert, Edward claims to be a gen labourer.

thanks

Ellen

Yep, he's vanished. Is there somewhere I can see who went off to the Boer war with the regiment?

Hi

Can any one suggest where I amy be able to find information on a posisble regular soldier with the Buffs Regiment c. 1900? and whether some kind of regimental activity might explain why I can't find the chap on the 1901 census (but then I can't find any of his family. humph).

Family name I'm interested in is Kisbee.

thanks

Hi Sandie

thanks for looking for me. I think you are going to be right. I think I am now finding children from the first marriage as well, a few discrepancies, but on the whole far too many coincidences for it not to be from the same Florence. Sigh. She was obviously a lady who had a colourful life!

its true that all the kids have the right name, certainly. it would just be nice to know when the parents married.  hagons seem to be hard to find!

Tried looking for her being Florence Cee and Lee marrying Fred - no go either.

Am starting to wonder if they parted and she just took Fred's name?

Can anyone suggest another way of finding out about a missing marriage?

Details of the people concerned are:

BRIDE: FLORENCE ROSE HAGON (born Hackney November 1880, daughter of Daniel Hagon.)

GROOM: FREDERICK JAMES RUMBOLD (born Melbourn, Cambridgeshire April 1880, son of William Rumbold.)

They went on to have my grandfather Frederick James (born 1912) and several other children.

So far I can only find a marriage for Florence and a Charles Cee / Lee. I can;t find one for Florence and Fred at all.

I tried contacting the records offices for Hackney etc to no avail.

Any info about a marriage or additional background to Florence would be great.

thanks

Ellen
