Wow, thanks Merry!
Off to find the elusive Mr Harle. 1911 has clues in the births of the children. Why couldn't I find this?

I don't think the "otherwise Rose Sarah Ann Thompson" necessarily means that she was using Thompson as a surname, just that it was one of her middle names but that she didn't always use it. Possibly she didn't include it in her name when writing her will.

Found the marriage record now. Poor woman was widowed with two small children. Worked as a char, so interesting that by 1939 she was a retired nurse. Wonder if she managed to get a better job or if she was bigging herself up.

Not surprised I didn't find her. I didn't know her married name and I was searching for Rosa Sarah AT Gray, not Rose Gray!
The marriage cert incorrectly says her father is George Gray, a coal merchant, not William Gray fisherman deceased. But I think it's correct as one of the witnesses is Laura Gray and Sarah's youngest sister was Laura Gray.

How sad. Arthur junior died in Sep 1918 in France. I'm wondering if his mother became a nurse for the war.

I would always search for Ros* because Rosa, Rose, Rosanna and Rosina often seem to be interchangeable.

Good tip, but I'm surprised she ditched all her other names. I had hoped it would make her easier to find!

Like my Amy Elizabeth Marguerite who just called herself Amy on her marriage cert.

Have now found her husband's birth, baptism, death and burial. A satisfying afternoon.
Big thanks to Merry who got me started and to Kiterunner.
