Willie Eade/Emma King marriage

[Markly Darkly]

If the very precise age of 32 yrs 8 days given by William King/Eade on his Army examination (14 April 1916) is correct then his birthdate should be 6 April 1884.

Thank you. Interesting - Is there anything else of interest on that record? Guessing that is something else I could get hold of with A* subscription?

Well, he suffered from deformed feet, rheumatic pains in his feet and legs since a bout of measles in childhood, and neurofibromatosis.

Emma Eade was his next of kin, as has already been posted upthread.

Well spotted avm228 - can’t see  a birth reg Jun qtr 1884 for a

There is this one but he has middle name and gives mn  King

This is Only speculations if we say

first son William named after his father Willie
Second son George could be named after Emma’s father
First dau Bessie named after Willie’s Mother Betsy
one of the sons has middle name Thomas after Wille’s father

they don’t appear to have  named a dau Emma

1911/1901 Emma Eade/King pob Marylebone bn1868/1865
1891 pob is dittoed as Paddington bn 1864

Could this be Emma on 1881

Thank you again for all this. I guess now we have some possibilities I need a way of proving if they are the right ones. Not sure I have enough detail to do that? Does there come a point when we just have to record it as a possibility and leave it at that?

If the very precise age of 32 yrs 8 days given by William King/Eade on his Army examination (14 April 1916) is correct then his birthdate should be 6 April 1884.

Tweaking the free 1939 Register index, I think William Eade is in the Hendon area and gives his birthdate as 6 April 1885.  If at least the 6 April bit is right (whether 1884 or 1885) then that could be corroborated with any birth certificate.

In turn, with luck, the birth certificate may give address (or other) details which link his mother Emma King to one of the families identified in the censuses.

Not that this helps with his birth

Have taken the plunge and ordered the William George King birth certificate from 1884.

Hopefully it will tell us something useful

Hope so too please let us know

When I was searching for the birth entry I only went by the date given from Army records as posted by avm228  6th April 1884 (hence looking in June Qtr. 1884)

avm228 also mentions possible birth 6th April 1885 for a William Eade in Hendon

There is this entry on GRO indexes in Jun qtr.
