What a star, Casalguidi!  8)

I think Martha was nee Francis*, and 1881 shows a Martha Francis of the right age from guess where!  :D

Brilliant  -  both    ;D

Still can't see them on 1901online as Bunce, Dunce or Dance - but I would say this is them -   ;D

Although the age isn't 100% correct this could be the boy:
 
Henry George Bunce
Dec 1895 Lewisham  1d 1112

Still can't figure how you found them!!  8)

I'm not that familiar with that area of Kent so (eventually) wondered if somebody born in Otford would be listed as born elsewhere, looked here http://www.nwkfhs.org.uk/parindex.htm and saw that Otford included Dunton Green - say no more ;)

Feenie, turning attentions to George William DAVIS, have you checked the given address for them (1913) in the 1901 census?  Also, who were the witnesses to the marriage - could they have been relatives?

Casalguidi :)

Oh my goodness guys!

I thought I would just 'pop' downstairs to play with my daughter - you have all been SO busy!

You have found out so much more than I was beginning to think we ever would!

Casalguidi - Witnesses to their marriage were H Bunce (I am guessing Henry) and it looks like D G Tucker and M V Tucker.  Not sure who they are though.

I will order Emily Martha's Birth cert and see what I can get from there....

Thanks so much everyone - I am so grateful.
