Edith Jane Baker born 1870-1880s, married Charles W Rumbold Edenbridge, 1909

I'm trying to find out where Edith Jane Baker was born, her birth year and who her father was.

She married Charles W Rumbold Parish Church Edenbridge, Kent 1909

I haven't yet ordered her marriage certificate - which would provide me with father's details. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

I see the wedding was registered as Sevenoaks. There is this possible birth

Edith Jane Baker
Oct-Nov-Dec 1875
Sevenoaks Kent
2a  539

The bridegroom's full name on the marriage registration was Charles William Rumbold.

Is anything more known about the couple - children, life after marriage? If a death can be found it would give Edith's age.

How do you know she was born 1870s-1880s? It is definitely known that Charles was her first husband?

The safest way would be to get the marriage certificate from the GRO, that way you wont be following the wrong family.

This death is of Edith Jessie Rumbold (a widow) who died in Thames Ditton on 23 Feb 1956.  Probate to Westminster Bank.

Edith Jane Baker died after giving birth to her (first) child on 2 Nov 1913 out in India. I do not have her death certificate. Charles William Rumbold was with the Royal Sussex Regiment and stationed out there at the time.

From his military record, I can see that the witnesses at the wedding were Charles Maple and Sarah Beecham.

I think the Edith Jane Baker born 1875 Sevenoaks is a strong lead. I always thought she was born later around mid 1880s. ANd may have been tracing the wrong Edith Jane Baker.

Are any of the marriage registers for Parish Church Edenbridge 1909 online I wonder?

[avm228]

Yes I had just found Charles' military records.

At least they do tell you that Edith was a spinster when she married him.

In 1911, Charles William Rumbold is listed on the census with his regiment. I couldn't find Edith Jane Rumbold and assumed she may have been in India at the time of the census (wrong assumption probably). I may have been looking for the wrong birth year and therefore missed her on the census.
