Hi all,
Having upgraded my subscription to a well-known Family History resource, I have now learnt Mrs. Miriam Van de Water of Harrington Court, London on the marriage record at the church on 7th August 1918, not 4th August as above, stated her age was 35, making her birth around 1883! Then to confuse matters further, both their respective fathers are mentioned on the record as is usual; Wilfred Doughty the groom, is George Doughty, Knight & JP, and the bride's, is Robert and a gentleman. The trouble is that George was dead at the time-he died in 1914, and the bride isn't given away by her father, but by her brother in law a Mr. Sutcliffe. The bride's mother, Prlee's Aunt Tids, is mentioned as Mrs R. Lee, which confirms with name of bride's father.
I have realised why I made the mistake about the marriage date, I mis-read the date at the top of the newspaper as 5th August when it is actually 8th August!
When Mrs. Miriam Maud Doughty died in 1963 she left several thousand pounds, again my new subscription provided probate records, showing her aged 83, so born 1880 not 1883, so maybe she being a woman lied about her age! But I just wonder who was Robert Lee and have a made the wrong conclusion.
