Right

I think we can definitely say this is the correct family. Have found the marriage cert of Lilians sister Kate. She married a JAKOB MEIER, who was a witness to Lilian and Walters marriage.

St George Bloomsbury 10 Sept. 1916 by licence

Jakob MEIER 28 bach. Porter of 9 Bloomsbury Square. Father: Jakob Meier ~ railway servant
Kate Watts 26 spins. of 4 Montague St.  Father: James Watts ~ carman
Witnesses: George Nav ? ? and  ? ?
