Hi Ann I have found Albert D. Randalls in 1891 still living in Bermondsey, with his wife Sarah and daughter Elizabeth. He is a Printer and they are living at 24 Ronel Road, Bermondsey. (I think Ronel is right it is hard to decipher. I am still looking for the others for you. Best wishes Maria

Hello All,
This is a long thread, my mum in law died in 2005 in her personal belongings she had a photo of a soldier with a grave number. I wrote to the war dept and they gave me his name as Ernest Randles. I found his niece on here who also had the same pic. We worked together but could not find a link in the family tree as to why we should have the same photo. I was looking in my mum in laws mothers side of the family (Bennett) .
While searching through all my mum in law maiden name Davis stuff yesterday I found a marriage cert for a Albert Charles Davis to a Jessie Randles. Jessie is the sister to Ernest. Ernest niece who I have been working with said oh yeh thats aunt Queenie and unlce Albie.
Now all I have to do is to make sure that Alberts father is indeed my mum in laws Uncle. William John Davis. She did have a Uncle William but weather this is the same one i havent found out yet.

It may have taken almost 10 yrs but I have something to go on now.
Anne

Curious! Jessie M. seems to have 3 different names. 2 previous marriages?

Randles Jessie M Marshall Surrey Mid.E. 2a 656

Although the 1951 marriage has her also with the surname Davis, it looks as though she was just calling herself that prior to marriage, as there's no record of her having previously married another Davis.


Maybe her birth???

Birth Date: 5 Jun 1913
Date of Registration: Jan 1990
Age at Death: 76
Registration district: Merton
Inferred County: Surrey

Are there any clues to Albert's family on the marriage cert?
Who were the witnesses?
Unfortunately, it's such a common name that without further info, it will be impossible to find out anything more about him.

I don't know what year the ER found by Glitterbaby was, but in 1965 Albert C Davis and Jessie M Davis are at 44 Mount Road, Mitcham.

(Ancestry's mistranscription says 44 Phipps Bridge Road.)

Possibly Albert's death??
Croydon reg district includes Merton and Mitcham. (Well, it used to. From 1965 they're in Merton reg district - but he might have died in hospital in nearby Croydon.)

If that's his death, this is the only birth which fits:
