Mabel Marshall appears on the 1911 census, aged 14, with Thomas Francis Marshall & Eliza Hornby Marshall, living in West Yorkshire.
2 March 1929 Mabel Lockyer, widow, marries Adams Edwards in British Columbia. She had emigrated very shortly beforehand (from South London) with a small son in tow. The marriage details tie her in nicely as Mabel Marshall.
The family story was that Adams married his niece
In fact, Adams' sister Susan married William Lockyer. By 1911 William & Susan were in Bradford.
William had a son Arthur b 1884 from an earlier marriage.
William Charles Lockyer b 1893 married Mary E Bruorton in 1911 and had 4 children by 1920
Ernest Adams E Lockyer b 1897 may have married Marjorie Chapman in 1922 (but this is in Pontefract and may be Ernest Arthur, born Pontefract RD) He died in 1926 in Bradford. I cannot find any children of the marriage.
I can't find a suitable Lockyer - Mabel marriage.
I can't find any Lockyer/Marshall children.
I can't positively locate Ernest or Arthur in 1911.
In theory, Mabel married either Ernest or Arthur, but I can't find any proof.
Looking at the coverage charts, 1917 and 1920 are the only marriage years with large gaps on Freebmd. Can anyone see Mabel, please?
NB - I'm off home as it has taken the better part of 2 hours to check all the details, but will reply to any suggestions tomorrow.
