Great uncle Herbert
« on: Saturday 08 July 17 20:30 BST (UK) »
Herbert Harry Dennis, born 1902 Surrey and died 1977 Chelmsford, Essex.  In 1911 he was living in Battersea, london.  He was my great uncle, but I know little about his life, if he married or had kids.

There is a marriage to Elizabeth Knight in 1927, Camberwell, but can't be sure.

Regards

Julie

Hi if his occupation was a Baker then yes he married an Elizabeth ( E) and lived in Lewisham, have you checked Dennis/Knight births on Freebmd from date of marriage?

Hi Keybord,

Yes I did see the marriage but not certain.  Interesting about the baker. 

Thanks

Hi it is very possible that Elizabeth was older than Herbert, b c 1894, so possibly a Widow when she married him, I cannot give any more re my findings!!
