Gadd family

[jaro]

Hi Does anyone have any info on the Gadd family of Southampton.The only info I have is Amelia Elizabeth Gadd born 1906 married Micheal Stanton in 1927 in Southampton.I believe she had 2 sisters and her fathers name was Alfred. Regards Jaro

Using the Southampton marriage and birth for the daughter Amelia I looked for a marriage for an Alfred Gadd 1900 to 1907.  There were surprisingly more than I thought there would be but only one in Southampton, to either Rosina de Baker or Lavinia Biddlecombe.
 
You can do a free search on findmypast for Amelia born 1906. She's there in Southampton
You can also just put in the surname Gadd and the place of residence Southampton. Don't enter any dates. An Alfred Ernest b1874 and a Rosina 1878 are there but no Lavinia so it is most likely that Alfred married Rosina de Baker.
There is the birth of a Rosina H Gadd, Southampton, mother's maiden name DeBecker in 1918 vol 2c page 72. It has another entry for the same birth details with mother's maiden name down as DeBacker

Hi
You may need that marriage certificate for Alfred and Rosina to determin their father's names and occupations.

Having trouble finding the Rose De Backer on the 1891 census. There are many varieties of spellings I can't find anything under De Backer/De Backer, Debacke(a)r/De baker. There are these two.
 Sept 1/4 1876
Rosina Baker    Lambeth  1d 537   
Rosina Rebecca  Baker   Holborn  1b 764

But more likely this one as all the children were born St Giles in 1891 census
 
Births Sep 1/4 1878   
Rosina Louise  Baker   St. Giles  1b 638

Amelia Gadd and Michael Stanton were my grandparents. They had four sons - Michael (my dad died October 2016) Frank, Gerald and Peter. Peter is the only one still alive - in Australia.
Michael’s family originated in Ireland. I’d like to know more about them and the Gadd family.
