Back to the marriages have looked for an Esther to a Mr Vale/Veale in Glamorgan before 1885.
Found this a possible anyway
Esther Robbins to either  James Vales or John Vale(All on same page vol no)Qtr Jun 1884 Vol 11a Page 470 in Cardiff.

Thanks for all the replies and the effort put into the research. I have been trying to find out more about this lady for about five years  and have learned more from your replies than I have from 5 years of banging my head against a wall!

Thomas Betton, Esther Ann's husband between Mr Prosser and Mr Merryman was my great grandfather.

David Prosser looks good for the previous husband, despite the Maggie (a clerical error by a busy enumerator possibly).

Robbins as her surname when she married Mr Vale also looks good. But was she Miss or Mrs Robbins? Your replies have definitely given me food for thought.

Thanks again for all your help - brilliant work!

[Arranroots]

Here's a little summary of where you seem to be so far:

1902 Esther = MERRYMAN

1901 census Esther Anne BETTON wid b 1858 Winterburn Som

1892 Esther Ann PROSSER = Thomas BETTON

1891 census Maggie PROSSER b 1861 Winterburn Bristol (husband David)

1885 Esther VEALE = David PROSSER

1884 Esther ROBBINS = James VALES or John VALE Cardiff

1881 ? Esther ROBBINS - where?

1871 ?

1861 ? presumably (but not necessarily) in Gloucestershire

1858 approx Esther born Winterbourne?

So we need to find Esther in the years before 1884 when she married VALE(S). 

Off to have a look!

kind regards, Arranroots

Heres a possible and right age this time.
As Arranroots said try Esther or Hester

Looks like their Mother remarried and they are step children not in laws.
However shes just a possible we d need her maiden name off marriage cert to be certain .And if it is her we need a marriage from Pinnock to Robbins or ?

I agree that the PINNOCK family looks good.  I was a bit distracted by the number of Winterbournes there are around the country, but she consistently says Bristol, so I think that will be the right one.

Could be a few marriage certs to buy in order to confirm the whole story - and the death certs !!! of the husbands.

Fascinating!

 

[osprey]

there's this marriage
Esther Pinnock sept qtr 1879 Bristol vol 6a pg 86
on same page as Alfred Green and Alfred Henry Flook

1881 census RG11/2446 folio 61 pg 12
Hester Flook b. Winterbourne married to Alfred Henry

BUT
she's still there in 1891 RG12/1942 folio 84 pg 35 with husband and son!
 

[welsh lady]

Looks like Esther Pinnock sadly not the right one .Cant find another think youll have to send for the certs to get maiden name.Let us know am intrigued to see if she did marry 7 times.

Good Luck Welsh Lady

[osprey]

Might be worth getting this birth cert
Lizzie Betton june qtr 1893 Pontypridd vol 11a pg 488
to see how many former names there are for Esther, that is if she told the registrar and there was enough room in the box on the cert to record them.
Intriguing! Do let us know the results!
