Thanks, AN. But as far as I know, they aren't related to me, though. And if that Walter sr is with Florence in 1911 and 1939, he is unlikely to have married Emily in between.

Okay, on the 1962 electoral register, John Philip Dobie and Emily Dobie are at 8 The Crescent, Woodlands, Don Valley, Yorkshire. Emily is still there on the 2003-4 electoral register, and then there is an Emily Dobie death in 2004 in Doncaster, with her dob given as 11 Sep 1916! (On the 1939 Register it was 11 Jan 1915.)

The electoral registers have led me down a deep rabbit hole - will report back if I ever find my way out! On some of the e rolls, an Edward S Heath is with the Dobies. He seems to be Edward Simeon Heath born 26 Sep 1912 Chesterfield district, MMN Whitehous, (think it should be Whitehouse), died 1982 Doncaster. I'm trying to find an Emily Heath in his family - guess what? His mother was an Emily. So there could be another Emily somewhere in the family.
Also, Edward's brother Henry Heath, born 1906 Walsall, married my 1st cousin 3 times removed Maggie Sewell (previously married to an Ernest Lambley). They lived together for many years before getting married, because her first husband was still alive. |

A very quick report back before I go and eat, so nobody else goes down the rabbit hole in the meantime!!
On the 1921 census, Edward is down as Simeon Drew, in Danesmoor, Derbyshire, and he has a sister Emily Drew age 5 years 9 months born Derbyshire Clay Lane Parish. I think she will turn out to be the Emily Heath who married John Philip Dobie, but obviously not the one who married Walter Sewell. Emily sr was 30 on the 1911 census but is 36 on the 1921 census so perhaps young enough to be that one. |

There is an Emily Sewell marriage to Peter Crompton in 1942 in Hemsworth, Yorkshire. On the 1945 electoral register, there is an Emily M Crompton with the Dobies, and then on the 1952 electoral register, there is an Emily Crompton with Henry Heath and Maggie nee Sewell whom I mentioned in post #13. Emily May Crompton death Jan-Mar 1954 Hemsworth, age 70. Age fits with the Emily sr mentioned above.
So I think both Emilys are sorted out now, but I still haven't found any info on the Walter Sewell who married Emily sr, unless I pay up for their marriage cert. |

On the electoral registers, Walter and Emily are at 4 Joseph Street, Hemsworth, in 1928 and 7 Kents Gardens, Don Valley, in 1929, but a different family are at that address in 1930.

I have been looking for Walter too but find nothing more than you have already. I guess a marriage cert as you say would be the best route as the witnesses might be a help there. I feel your frustration - I have a paternal marriage and baptism pre-1837 missing. The few DNA matches don't help either and their trees if any don't go back far enough on that side. I live in hope.
