Help with my g.g grandparents

[beckyatter]

So, I have the following information, starting with the most recent generations. I am a bit stuck on going back any further. Can anyone help with Rose or Thomas? where should I be searching and with what bits of info? Thanks in advance.

William Percival Banfield

b. Nov 11 1923

Joyce parents:
Mabel Marian Gamble (born Macdonald)
Great-grandmother
b. 1897 poss Greenwich

Robert Edward Gamble
Great-grandfather

Mabel parents:
Rose MacDonald and
Thomas Macdonald

[groom]

Mabel Marian Gamble (born Macdonald)
Great-grandmother
b. 1897 poss Greenwich

I would start from there and try and find her with her parents in the 1901 and 1911 cenuses. That would give you her parent's ages and their places of birth. If you can find them on the 1911 that will also tell you how long they have been married. Once you know that you will have something to work from.

Rose & Thomas marriage - have you tried spelling variations - eg McDonald ?

Mabel Marians BC would show Rose's Maiden name ...

[groom]

Here's Marion's baptism


Mabel Marion Macdonald
Baptism Date:   12 Oct 1897
Father:   Thomas Macdonald
Mother:   Rose Macdonald
Rotherhithe St Katharine, Southwark

Their address looks like 62, Cornbury Road and Thomas is a Carrier

[groom]

I think this is their marriage

Thomas McDonald             Age:   21
Spouse:   Rose Elizabeth Swift          Age:   19
26 Jun 1895
St Katharine, Rotherhithe, Southwark
Father's Name:   Colin McDonald
Spouse Father:   John Swift

Thomas's address is given as 62 Cornbury Road, the same as on Marion's baptism. He is a carrier.

Mabel Marian Gamble born 12/9/1897 died Jan-Mar 1976 Bexley
Mable Marian MacDonald born Oct-Dec 1897 Greenwich (obviously born in September but her birth wasn't registered until October!)
Next step is to look for her in 1901 and 1911, which will reveal her parents and siblings to you
Looks like the marriage that groom found for Mabel's parents is the right one, since the address and Thomas's occupation is the same as for Mabel's christening

So you have one new name in your tree already - Rose Elizabeth Swift

as said, check spelling variations ..... Mac vs Mc

Thanks so much everyone, this is just wonderful! I will check the spellings thanks, seems Rose and Thomas' marriage is Mc and after is Mac?
