Thanks for all the help on this one Jimmy

Not got time to add until I get back from my hols

I think it is a bit risky adding, without the marriage we dont know for certain and as it is reg office cant check it.

How many gertrude willetts are there in the year she is born and same with david rayboulds

if only one seems fair bet that they are the ones marrying in 1920

Just had a quick look at david seems like him from census but not looked at birth records re no of davids born in that year 1881

I will look at this next few days and maybe add with a note
