In the 1911 census my maternal grandfather Stanley Victor Murrill is shown at 21 Little Northampton Street, Clerkenwell with his "wife" Roseina Murrill, a feather curler, b. about 1889, married 3 years and with a child also Roseina born 1909 also at Clerkenwell. There are no Murrill marriages recorded that could refer.
By January 1912 he was legally married at Southwark to my grandmother Ada Damary so we can safely deduce that there was no marriage previously (no death record for either Roseina). In fact both Roseinas seem to disappear completely.
I no longer subscribe to any of the pay sites so perhaps more and later information may have emerged.
Stanley, by the way, was a bit of a rogue so he would have had no compunction at describing Roseina as his wife when she wasn't.
The name Roseina is not all that common (there are spelling variants) and I did chase down most of the candidates a few years ago and had to eliminate them all, either by age or geography.
If either or both of the Roseinas survived under some other surname they have living descendants today. Can anyone throw fresh light on them?
