Her parents were Rose Alice Garnham born 7 March 1888 Ipswich, died 14 June 1924, Ipswich when Edith was five years old, and  Richard Johnson, born 1877, Camberwell, Surrey.

This is why we need GS to confirm dates.

I still haven't found a death for Richard.  The details I have for him are that he was born 1877 in Camberwell, Surrey, and this is taken from his attestation papers.  Further military papers show his marriage to Rose Alice Garnham in Felixstowe

Have the military records for two separate Richards perhaps been elided here?  It may be that the 1877 one is a red herring and that this explains the difficulties experienced in trying to trace him.

Well, shows I can't count if I have his dob as 1877 and he was 18 in 1909.  Whoops, my apologies there.  Presumably his dob should read 1891, which as you say would account for the lack of evidence of him in the censuses.  That means he was five years older than Rose, his wife, so still a comparatively young man when Rose died.

Regards
