Family Lily WOOLLEY, b. 10 Feb 1878, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England , d. Jun Q 1969, Greenwich Reg Dist, Kent, England (Age 90 years) Married 17 May 1898 Holy Trinity Church, Maidstone, Kent, England - GRO ref: Farquhar, Robert to Woolley, Lily q2 1898 Maidstone RD 2a 1544
Details from PR (image on FMP, viewed 23 Sep 2020)Strangely, the 1911 census shows that Robert and Lily had had two children by then, although they had two with them and Lily had another with her in 1901.
The latter, a son Albert, was born the quarter after the wedding - was he the son of Lily but not Robert, or was '2' simply an error?
The family were in Gillingham in 1911, but as I can't find them in Kent in 1939 or Robert and Lily's death prior to that I thought they might be the Robert and Lily who died in Woolwich / Greenwich.
Seeing the 1939 registration image together with looking for more children seems to confirm that this is the couple who subsequently lived in Woolwich, despite a couple of date differences in the 1939 register or the index. It is clear the Robert E shown as born 1874 was actually born 1914, and Lily's year is clearly wrong in the register - the date and month match the dob in the death registration index exactly, though the year doesn't.
