Edith Ella Fields?

Isn't that Elsie M Fields (Young)too young 

Yes Rosie she is! Which is one reason why I question whether Edith Ella Fields and Elsie M Fields are the same person

Sorry David

No apology necessary Rosie. I didn't spell out that I had reservations.

I wonder if she could be known as Ellen rather than Ella

By playing with the search she was born in June 1896.

There are two tree's on GRU, one has a Edith Field born Bedford 1896 and the other has a Edith Fields born Biggleswade 1896.

Bit of a long shot here, there is a marriage for a Edith E Field 1917 Southwark, London to a John Helson.

So all the family gathered for Clara's funeral in 1944. Was Edith Ella there?
How many daughters did George and Clara have?
1. Ida May Field, born 1893
She might have married George Arnott in Biggleswade district, Sep 1921 (Ida M Fields)
If so, a possible death, Dec 1937, Bedford
Ida May Arnott, age 44

2. Edith Ella Field, born 1896

3. Violet Louisa Fields, born 1901, registered Sep qtr.
It looks like she could have married Albert J Fermor in Tonbridge in 1923? Thus she would be Mrs "Ferman", one of the daughters mentioned in the newspaper.
Death, August 1989, Brighton
Violet Louisa Fermor, d-o-b 9 June 1901

If there were no more daughters, that would leave Mrs Craddock.
