You're certainly looking at all the possibilities for the family. I've been misled by FindMyPast into believing that Albert Gibson was living with MARIA not Maud  and they appear together on the 1939 register at 24 Gledwood Drive, Hayes and Harlington. Then found a marriage for  an Albert to Maria F Goulden q4 1938 Hampstead! Still it does look like it is Maud rather than Maria on the 1939 script but can't find a marriage for him to a Maud? Or do you believe he married Maud E Lent?

Maud Elizabeth King born 26 November 1882, baptised at Holy Trinity Haverstock Hill on 6 May 1883.

Well, at least that seems to match the d-o-b for Maud Gibson in 1939, so we know who she is. Name is Maid on ancestry!

See previous posts - he didn’t marry Maud, whose lawful husband was still alive until after her death.

Maybe Albert didn't actually marry her, but she was originally called King! Is this going to be just a bizarre coincidence?

Weird isn’t it? And since Maud’s father Edward Harry King was from Manchester, any link to a Mortlake family (if we could even find one) is looking unlikely

[jonw65]

I'm afraid it is looking unlikely. Unless perhaps he adopted another daughter at some time
Never mind, we have the cert to look forward to.

Can't wait for the cert

It seems to me that if he married Maud Elizabeth nee King, she was his 2nd wife and her father has nothing to do with his 1st wife?

Well yes, in a sense, but since his first wife and second “wife” had the maiden name King in common, it was at least worth investigating Maud in case she turned out to be related to Mabel and therefore a means to discovering the origins of Mabel.  It’s not uncommon to find widowers marrying their deceased wives’ sisters (even though it wasn’t lawful until 1907).
