Familysearch has a James WORDLEY/Ethel OTHEN Marriage 1914 Alverstoke.
No other details.

Marriage is on FreeBMD + children 1914/1916/1920

James looks to have died 1920 age 55
Ethel looks to have remarried 1925 to Frederick Stowe

Edwina is with them 1939 register, but Anc has not transcribed record properly and I can see it is hard to read. DOB is right though.
There are 3 children to Ethel/Frederick Stowe.

Thank you for your reply, you responded very quickly, is that because you are also researching the Wordley name?

[Girl Guide]

That is a lovely thought Dav, but these two are quite experienced at researching and would know where to look and happened to see your post within minutes of you posting 

Once you become familiar with all the family history websites that you can search, you will get faster at finding what you are looking for.

This is what Rootschat is for, to help everyone regardless of how long they have been researching.

Thank you Trish, your info was very helpful especially the freebmd site. I haven’t been able to find the entry you refer to in the 1939 register, are you able to guide me to that entry?

I can’t see a 1914 birth.
