hi alan
like i said in my earlier post  and it probably ties in with your other posting re the army  great warley has or had an army barracks so if victoria was from an army family that could easily be why she shows there in 1911 .

Hi Trevor,

Yes, Victoria Drew was born in India in 1891. Her father was Edward Drew having
joined up in 1878 and re-engaged in 1890 and went to India. Unfortunately
he died in 1896 still in India and what happened to his wife is still being investigated.
How or when Victoria returned to the UK is not known but in 1901 she is living in "an orphanage" for "fatherless dau. of Sailors, Soldiers & Marines" in Wandsworth, London. In 1911 census she is a kitchen maid living with a stock broker's family in Gt.Warley, Essex.
Could her marriage in 1913 have been held in the army chapel? If they had such.

hi alan
just did a google search for warley barracks chapel and there is a potted history of the chapel  from it,s beginnings up to today have alook yourself but it does say that around the period of victorias marriage it was for the sole use of the essex reg you really need to get victorias marriage lines to find out where she wed , and going on your last post warley may have been just a coincidence with her as a daughter of a soldier and the 1911 cen  hope this makes sense but if i were you i,d get her marriage lines not only for location but t see who the witnesses are they can sometimes throw light on a puzzle .

So, she was a servant in Warley in 1911 - but as her marriage was in Tendring Reg District, that does not help - for whatever reason she had moved there before her wedding (or married there anyway). A lot can happen in 2 years.

As I said before there are 35 parishes in that Reg District. You say you have checked 19 of them.
And then there are non conformist churches and registry offices.
You are going to have to get the marriage cert to find where the marriage took place.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
