Or is it?
I have a William Edward Hillman b 1888 to Abraham & Lucy Laura in Cuckfield Sussex.
There are records at the National Archive (which financial constraints bar me from getting) dated 1904 which is presumably when he signed up for the Royal Navy aged 16.
There are consecutive census records including 1911 when he was on board HMS Otter in dock in Kowloon Harbour.
His WWI medals were delivered to HMS Excellent which was a shore establishment in Portsmouth.
There is a possible marriage, in Cuckfield, to an Ida C Clarke in 1914.
There is a 1978 death record, in Cuckfield, for an Ida Carchrie Hillman b. 24 May 1893.
There is a 1911 census for an Ida Carchrie Clarke b 1897 in Dublin, Ireland living with an Uncle & Aunt in Liverpool.
There are the births of 4 Children, Alan W C Hillman (mother Clarke) b 1914, Audrey J Hillman (mother Clarke) b 1923, Irene M Hillman (mother Clarke) b 1925 & Stella M Hillman (mother Clarke) b 1927, all in Portsmouth.
I know this isn't definitive proof of relationships and wondered if anyone could find any further information that might show one way or the other that William Edward and Ida Carchrie really were husband and wife or not.
