Going on the fact that the children of Elsie seem to use their second names and my gut feeling that Elsie may have returned home to have her child, I have now found a birth at Ross.
Although my cousins name was Margery (Marjorie)I have found a birth in Dec Qtr 1912 at Ross of a Lillian M Dawson mothers name Badham.
This must be the child.
This rules out a WW1 marriage.
Either I can't find the marriage or they were cohabiting and she was calling herself Dawson.
Acording to my late mother, Elsie moved to Topsham to be housekeeper to Charlie Gale, and he married her.
So there doesn't appear to be a husband then.
