Hi, does anyone have access to the 1901 and 1911 Census please that could look up this lady for me and let me know anything you can about her ie her parents and if she had sisters or brothers.

I am also looking for a possible marriage for her. I know she was with my Grandfather in or around 1939 until he died in 1969 and then she died in 1979 in Streatham, London. I know she was in London in 1940 as a child was born to her in Battersea, London. Lee was her maiden name but on her death certificate she is given as Bryant which was my Grandfather's surname. He was George Richard Bryant. It may well be they never married but on her death cert it states "maiden surname of woman who has married" Lee.

This one is a bit of a mystery but am hoping something can be found. I do not have money to purchase credits therefore am asking for some help please. I only check to see if anyone has replied to my messages every now and again as I am at work during the day.

Kind Regards

Kathryn

Hi Pam

Thank you very much for all the information it is much appreciated. I don't suppose you have the facility to try and find out if Edith Lee born September 1899 every married please. Hope you don't think I am being cheeky. I know she ended up in London and was there from at least 1939/1940 and she died in London on 1 September 1979.

Kind Regards

Hi Kathryn
Have looked at the marriage records on Ancestry but there were a lot of Edith Lee's out there & unfortunately the date of birth is not given in the index. I definitely cannot find her marriage to a Bryant. There are 2 marriages in London for Edith Lee:

1. married Feank King Jun Q 1931 Paddington 1a 111

2. married Thomas H Pittam Mar Q 1944 Fulham 1a 473

BUT there are 13 marriages listed for Edith Lee in Middlesex 1916-1964.

Do you have the name of her child born in 1940 in Battersea?

Sorry couldn't be of more help[
Pam

Hi again Pam

If I'm being a nuisance please let me know. Edith had a daughter Zillah Bryant born 1940 Battersea and then Wendy Bryant born 1943 in Battersea. It may well be that she didn't marry and just used the surname. Unfortunately I don't have the credits or money to buy them. Any help is of course brilliant.

Thanks again Pam

Kind regards

Hi again Kathryn
Of course you are not being a nuisance - I understand only too well how these problems can get under your skin!!
I have just searched through the marriage records quarter by quarter from 1935-1945 and there is definitely no marriage listed between Bryant & Lee. I would assume that as she gave the children the Bryant surname that your grandfather was named as father on the birth certificates. The only other possibility is that Edith was married earlier to someone else and then married Bryant. This would mean that her previous married name would be on the marriage certificate but her maiden name would be listed on the childrens birth certificates.
I have not given up yet!!
Pam
