Hi everyone, I'm new to rootschat.com so please bear with me! My great-grandfather was Harry Rundle, born in Luton, Bedfordshire, UK in/around 1874. He was in the South Staffordshire Regiment in the British Army. He married Beatrice Mallett on 4th November 1893 (parish church of St David's?) in Cornwall, UK. Beatrice Mallett was born in/around 1876 in Penryn, Cornwall, UK & her occupation was that of a tailoress. Harry & Beatrice's registered address at the time of their marriage was Helston Road, Penryn, Cornwall, UK. They had 2 children, both girls, & both were born in Falmouth, Cornwall, UK. Jane Ann Rundle was born on 15th February 1902, & Gwendoline Rundle was born on 21st July 1904. It's interesting to note that their first child wasn't born until 9 years after their marriage, quite possibly due to Harry's service in the Army. I have no other details at this time regarding Harry & Beatrice's relationship, their children, descendants of their children, etc.
However, my research into my great-grandfather has shown that there was another marriage, between Harry Rundle & Alice Maud Butler, at a registry office in Weymouth, Dorset, UK, on 22nd November 1899. There were 5 children, 3 boys & 2 girls. Their details are as follows: Henry Charles Rundle born 6th January(?) 1902, Portland, Cornwall, UK; Albert Edward Rundle born 22nd September 1903, Kings Norton, Birmingham, UK; Edith Ellen Marie Rundle born 29th October 1906, Kings Norton, Birmingham, UK; Leslie Clarence King Rundle born 25th March 1908; Balsall Heath, Birmingham, UK; Nellie Louisa Rundle born 20th November 1910, Balsall Heath, Birmingham, UK.
As a result of 2 marriages, although 6 years apart, there were 2 children both born in 1902!!
Any other information regarding Harry & Beatrice/Harry & Alice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
