I'm trying to trace the parents of May Wilce (b.24.11.1896; reg. Westbury-o-Severn, Dec Qtr 1896) who married Frank Midwinter (reg. Cheltenham, Jun Qtr 1927). I mistakenly had her as a daughter of George Wilce and Hannah Gilder.

Thank you for this information which refers to Ida May Wilce who I already had has daughter of James Wilce and Lizzie Beard. Ida M. married Frank Brain (reg. Westbury on Severn; Sep Qtr 1923).
My search was for parents of May Wilce (b.24.11.1896; reg. Westbury-o-Severn, Dec Qtr 1896) who married Frank Midwinter (reg. Cheltenham, Jun Qtr 1927).
It now seems they are the same person and that Frank Brain may have died (reg. Barnsley; Mar Qtr 1924, age 25 yrs) and (Ida) May then married Frank Midwinter, using her maiden name instead of the normal widowed name, and had four children. She died in 1986 (reg. Cheltenham; Oct 1986, dob:24.11.1896)
