Two Marriages? 1923-1955

[lizdb]

So you havent got the certs for the alleged Penfold/Penfold marriage?  No proof that in 1916 the Edith Penfold didnt actually marry the Henry Muddle, or in 1903 the Edith Penfold married Thomas Moon?

Need those certs methinks.

FreeBMD has a birth of a Moon in Croydon, with mums maiden name Penfold - so likely that the Edith P married the Mr Moon, and that the Henry Penfold married Fanny King

Hi, If this was the right Edith P then she was 17 in 1901, she would have had to have married a Mr.Penfold as a Buxton then by 1903 she is marrying as Penfold to a Mr.Moon?

The 1916 marriage was Penfold to a Penfold though so the only explanation for me not being able to find the Buxton/Baxton (see Edith EMR Wrenn Baxton b. 1918) marriage is she changed her name before the marriage from Buxton to Penfold.

Have you got the 1916 Penfold/Penfold marriage cert?

[adam_in_SW_Middx]

I have got the certificate off my father, and I can see it does say in fact the husband as Richard William Jennings - my apologies for not checking this sooner.  Could you find the marriage, as I would be interested to know the surname of the woman he married.

Can you give us a bit more info Chris.

What date was it,where di it take place and if you have the certificate,why doesn't it say who he married...........I'm confused???

Okay I've had my coffee and am more with it now 

You are not going to believe this but an Edith BUXTON married a Richard JENNINGS in Battersea in June 1943 ref 1d page 507.

No middle names were mentioned.

You can get the cert for £7 from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

I have worked my way backwards from 1953- to find this in 1943,and this is the only likely one.

I wonder if she never actually married any of the previous chaps,but just called herself by their surnames,or did she just decide to revert back to her maiden name to marry in wartime?

Think you have just solved it! Well done!  Off to have a coffee too now, see if it works for me!

Though I am interested to hear what cert it is that Chris has already for Richard Jennings, if not the one for this marriage.
