None of these names are real so I hope you can make some sense of it.
Fred Bumble married Mary Bee in 1897
they had a daughter Mary Bumble born in 1899
Mary Bumble (Bee) died in 1904 of TB, I have certs.
in 1918 Charles Bumble was born father Fred mother Mary Bee
in 1920 Doris Bumble was born father Fred mother Mary Bee
Fred Bumble the elder met a woman and lived with her, they had 4 children.
The puzzle is that the children thought they were siblings nobody told them that they were half brothers and sisters, the elder two thought that the woman their father was living with was their mother.
I have only recently uncovered all of this from birth certificates of Charles Bumble and Doris Bumble.
I would like some opinions, however delicate, I have my own but would like to see what other people think.
I will be off line for about an hour so I am not ignoring any replies.
I hope this all makes sense.
