This is really interesting! There was a Lillie Else as a witness on the 1915 marriage.

Well done Ladyhawk, good sleuthing, came to some of those conclusions last night and was going to post this morning but did not as I'm not a night owl.

Just to add to the mix, think William Thomas Lamkin c 1856 mmn Nickels remarried 24.12.1899 Christ Church, Chelsea.

William Thomas Lamkin - widower aged 40-labourer- Father James Lamkin-occ-Shoemaker
Sarah Ann Lee-widow- father George Cox-occ-Brewer's Lab

Both of 50 Beaufort St

Witnesses, Edward Lee & Edith Collings.


The image of James Lamkin (father) to Mercy Nicholls
in 1855 available to view on FindMyPast to add for further research.

Glen, think Ladyhawks eyesight is better than ours, the surname is EKE not Else
