  	GRO ref: Goatham, Edith I to Jordan, Lawrence q1 1915 Milton RD 2a 1653 Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 3 April 2019) Given Lawrence's clear desire to be involved with his illegitimate son Eric, it seems to me surprising that it was another 6 months before he and Edith married. Both were under age; I guess there was opposition from one or both sets of parents. Both were still underage when they married, and the ages were not 'adjusted' to disguise this, so the parents must have given permission then. What may or may not be significant is that Lawrence's father died the same quarter that Eric was born; maybe it was he who was opposed to the marriage.

  	GRO ref: Bowen [sic], Ruth M to Bowen, John S q1 1965 Sittingbourne RD 5b 1904 I don't know if Ruth married as a Bowen as she was living as a Bowen prior to marriage, or if her being recorded as such was an error made when the GRO copy was made
