Looking again for Ernest John Woodward born Paddington c1901 on the Familysearch site, I don't know why I didn't see this record last night as was focussing too much on the Census returns, it seems (to me) that this excellent f-o-c site has grown it's database since I used it last a few years back, this record is too recent to be available on the FreeBMD website.

Name Ernest John Woodward
Event Type Death Registration
Registration Quarter Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration Year 1984
Registration District Westminster
County London
Event Place Westminster, London, England
Birth Date (available after June quarter 1969) 06 Jan 1901
Volume 15
Page 1620

So this is a clear match for the Birth Record I found yesterday, but unfortunately does NOT match our 1971 Burial in Walford, so this Ernest can be discounted. Not surprisingly as I was mistakenly convinced there was another London link here, ah well.

------------

Familysearch also gives this Marriage Record, which is either
1. Incorrect, as the newspaper shows the actual Marriage took place at Boston, Lincs.

Or

2. Perhaps indicates they were living, so registered the marriage, in Ampthill in Bedfordshire ? This raises a recurring question for me, in the C20th century, was a Marriage registered "automatically" by the Minister, as I'd always assumed, or was it still down to the couple to register their own marriage in person, which presumably would wait until after the ceremony, honeymoon etc so at their place of residence. Any guidance would be appreciated, please, thanks... ??

Name Ernest John Woodward
Spouse's Name Emily Margaret Effie Adams
Event Date 1935
Event Place Ampthill, Bedford, England

Unfortunately altho Familysearch gives several possible hits for Ernest John Woodward in the 1911 and 1901 Census across England, so far I've not found him with his father with initials R.B., partly as this website does not make searching at all straightforward. It's also likely he was recorded as just Ernest, so opening-up many more possible households to check.

If anyone else can help probably with a subscription site I'd be grateful, please, altho' I do appreciate this is going outside of our usual area.

I also suspect that he may also have been a Minister, but so far simple Googling for "Rev E.J. Woodward" etc etc has produced nothing.
