Douglas Beverly Woods & Daisy Hilda Freeman

[Tony Freeman]

Trying to find marriage between the above.
Unable to locate any marriage certificate.

Daisy born in St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands in 1886.
By 1901 she was living in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
In 1920 London Electoral Register records she is living in Chelsea, London with her "husband" Douglas Beverly Woods.

Also missing records for a Daisy's daughter Violet Ena.
May have been born outside wedlock or previous marriage.
Family member indicates that there was "no" birth certificate.

All help appreciated in tracking down more information :-)

Any idea when her daughter was born or where?

I see one Violet Ena Woods born 1909 Norfolk.

What name did daughter go under (surname) and do you have any of them on a census?

Hi
Have looked and looked but no joy.
The only possibly interesting thing I found was
1911 free search
Daisy Noakes  born 1887
Can t give you the record but possibly worth a look
Also
Birth AMJ 1911
Daisy E Noakes  St Giles
Possibly connected with above?
Saying that I can find no sign of a Noakes/Freeman marriage so probably not so interesting after all!

Hi Tony

Can you give us the reference for Daisy in 1901?

The nearest I can find is for a Daisy H COLCHESTER b c1887 Jersey, with mother Mary Ann 1859 b Jersey, and siblings Charles H 1890 b India, Violet M 1895 and Lily F 1898, both born Bury St Edmunds:

RG13 1755 117 30

Think I've found the Freeman/Colchester link:

GRO Index Army Marriage 1889, Page 105
Jhansi, Indian Subcontinent
Charles COLCHESTER
on the same page:
Mary Ann FREEMAN
Alice Lucinda JONES
Charles QUARRELL

I can't find anything later for Daisy Hilda under Colchester either....

Cathy's find is the best-looking fit so far.

possibly connected with the above.

Possibly unconnected, but a Violet Colchester was listed at the City of Westminster Infirmary in Fulham Road (Chelsea) in the 1920 electoral register, the same year in which Daisy and Douglas were listed in Chelsea.

Ah,
Well spotted avm228 , although there was another birth for a  Daisy E Noakes registered Southwark JFM 1911,you are right as death is same area.
On 1911 there is an entry for an infant Noakes same address as mother.
