<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found Graham Lee's tree on Ancestry. He claims Ernest Gamble died 1938 at 41 Riffel Road, Willesden. I can't find any record to match this. However, I did find Annie living at that address in 1952 with her mother. Whereas she was living at 97 Chapter Road in 1939. I also found her at 97 Chapter Road in the 1936 records along with Ernest but his entry is written as George Ernest Gamble not Ernest G Gamble.</p>
<p>Going back to the GRO, I now find a death for Ernest in 1938 but, again, it's entered as George Ernest Gamble. </p>
<p>And Free BMD has a marriage between George E Gamble and a Davis in 1936. (edit) This may not be Annie as the name is Ellen A Davis so not a good match.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Date on Glos BMD site is 1917 whereas it is 1918 on other sites:</p>
<p>FreeBMD:<br />

<p>GRO:<br />
CHAMBERLAIN, SIDNEY  BRUCE   -  <br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That tree that has Kenneth on it is incorrect. I'm pretty sure he married Betty Alban in 1956. 1939 register has her as marrying a Chamberlain and she was from Huntingdon where Kenneth died.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Definitely frustrating.</p>
<p>The 1969 death matches in that the person was born in 1901 and is called Anne but I don't see any other reasons to believe it's her. A search of BMD showed there were over a hundred people called Annie, who were born in 1901 and died in just the first quarter of 1969. So what's different about this one.</p>
<p>Do you know Annie's exact birth date? That could narrow it down a lot.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Peter,</p>
<p>I have found a second cousin  Graham Lee who has Annie or Annabiah/ anniebeya  as deceased in London in 1969 and her spouse is a Ernest Gamble so Im gathering she might have remarried now the question is  given  they know  and been honest that the info they have is jumbled with random names and dates sigh dna shows we are second cousins so now its just chasing to see if Annie is maybe  divorced and having remarried or has she simple left william and  hooked up with  ernest and they have just  pretended to be a married couple????.... I have looked for a cert for them both in marriages but  no luck so far. I could safely say I could happily scream  and curse over this with different spelling of  first and last names as much as I feel connected to Annabiah  name I rather call her I also hate her.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not giving up on this but I'm still unable to find anything much about Annie. So decided to concentrate on her husband William. </p>
<p>As MPG found, William is living with his mother in Buckshaft in 1939. There is one other person who is not visible so maybe this was Annie. Not really relevant but Williams sister, Harriet, and her husband, Benjamin Turley, are also living with them, or maybe next door. I searched for William in the electoral registers, assuming Annie would also be listed. But seems not. I found him in the 1951 and 1954 registers, along with his mother, but no sign of Annie. His mother died in 1954 but William continues to appear in the registers up to his death in 1966.</p>
<p>William was of an age he may have served in WW1 and an entry in the 1919 electoral registers has (possibly) him listed as an absent voter and serving in the forces. The address is in Ruspidge. Maybe he was injured and hence the 'incapacitated' description in the 1939 register. I've not been able to find any military records for him.</p>
<p>I'm not convinced the death in 1954 is Annie. The GRO has the name as Annie Elousie (misspelling of Elouise?). Doesn't seem a good match. But I can't find anything better. I can't find a burial record that matches either but I can find them for William and his mother, both in St Johns.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain why Annie might not appear in the electoral registers? I don't know what the qualifications would have been.</p>
