Did check out EmilyStone (daughter of William and Margaret)  just in case she was Emily White  (daughter of Stephen and Eliza) - "roughly" same birth years - confirmed by her marriage, she was definitely the daughter of William Stone and Margaret Barrett.
The age of Emily age was wrong on the 1891 census which had made me wonder - she was 10 years old on ancestry and 6 years old on family search.

This could be the death of  Eliza Ann Lane/White Stone

Hi Sandra,

The White family are proving difficult to find - for me a least!

I have the marriage of Stephen & Eliza 25/12/1880 and the 1891 census showing them with their 3 children George, Charles & Emily. I think a couple of children died very young, James & William (need to check this). Another daughter was born later in 1891, Violet Rebecca.

I don’t yet have the marriage certificates for Emily to Harold Spinney or Violet to Samuel Buckman but have found them in the 1911 census

The witnesses at George & Margaret’s marriage were from Margaret’s side of the family.

Thank you for the School Admissions & Discharges. Interesting! I will have to take a look at those and see if there’s more.

I know Stephen was dead by 22/12/ 1905 as he is shown as deceased on George’s marriage cert.
I have noticed the death you posted but I’ve not pursued it yet. There was another one in 1901 registered at Camberwell which I wondered about also.

You’re correct Sandra, about a remarriage for Eliza. On George’s death certificate it states….
Eliza White now Clark nee Lane ( it could be Clarke - very bad copy).
I’ve looked at the marriage index and there are a few possibilities I need to check out
Do you think she could have married William Stone previous to Mr Clark/e?

I did wonder if, after Stephen died, that the family ended up in the work/poor house and thats a reason as to why I can’t find them in 1901 census - just a thought!

Thank you again for all your help.
