I think mother's name was Naomi - does that fit Jaywit?

[-Glen-]

Hi,

Yes to all - born Rotherhithe 1886 - mother Naomi - and living in Aldershot in 1901.

If i remember correctly, 'aneurism' is written next to his name. (Medical term)

Thanks Angelfish - I thought I was really onto something with that Dorothy too!

Glen.

Glen I thought it said American

The Dorothy that went to the USA, when did she go?

[Spidermonkey]

Does your Gran remember whether her mum had any siblings?  Also, who were the witnesses on the marriage cert?

[jaywit]

Their first son they named fully after Walter.

The second son.

Ronald George Comerford Victor STAPLES b1920 and d2003

Any idea where they got Comerford from?

[-Glen-]

Comerford is Naomi's maiden name (Walter's mother).

Witnesses were A Hudson and E C Parker. Nobody living knows of these two names.

My Gran doesn't remember any siblings or relations of her mother's ever coming round or beng mentioned! Only that she's sure she was told that she grew up with an Aunt.

but her name was Dorothy and she was born 27th September 1891/92

Ok, the Dorothy that you found in 1911 - perhaps is Dorothy May SHEPPARD bn Dec qtr 1890 Woolwich 1d 1079

[jaywit]

1891 census Maidstone.

Class: RG12; Piece: 689; Folio 35; Page 2;

Transcribed as Dorothy Stephens but the image is Shepherd

Living with grandmother, now is this the same as the one found in 1901?

There does appear to be too many things that  fit with this Dorothy.

Glen can you tell us exactly what information you have that makes you discount this Dorothy?
