lokking for Mee/Bruce family from Blackheath London area

My grandfather was Reginald Leonard Mee(1911-1996) and he married an Edith Maude Bruce (1910-1973) in 1938.

I am having trouble determining the parents of Edith. They appear to be Ernest James Bruce (1871) and Florence Minas Bruce (1873) and they were married on 29/9/1896. HOWEVER there is also a connection with a Florence Beatrice Bruce/Mee. In later years the electoral rolls at 28/30 Lewisham Road show Ernest James Bruce with Florence Beatrice Bruce, and Reginald and Edith Mee.

Am I getting muddled or could Ernest and Florence Minas have divorced and then Ernest remarried Florence Beatrice Mee ( or I would imagine had been some sort of blood relative to my grandfather.

All looks a bit messy. I would greatly appreciate any advice/help

looking for MEE or BRUCE from London

I am looking for information on the Bruce/ Mee family line from London.
My step grandfather was Reginald Leonard Mee (B 11/6/11). He married Edith Maud Bruce in 1938. She was the daughter of Ernest James Bruce and Florence. Through the census it appears the mothers name was Florence Mina Bruce but I can find no marriage certificate in these names. The only marriage I can find was between Ernest James Bruce and Florence Beatrice Mee in1928. Is seems an odd connection that my step grandfather had the surname Mee and so did a wife of my step great grandfather! HELP! What am I doing wrong?

Shorter/Heather/Gosling from Lewisham/Wisbech/Peckham

Hi

I am looking for some family information on my grandparents.

My nan (Doris Elizabeth Shorter)was born on 28/4/13 in Lewisham. She married William Walter Heather in Lee on 18/12/32. She had 2 children John Heather and Patricia Heather (my mum). During the war they were moved up to Wisbech where she met and married her second husband Frank George Gosling - he originally came from the Peckham area of London.

My grandfather (Frank George Gosling) was born in Peckham but I have very little other information apart from he had a brother Bert and a sister Ivy. I think his mothers name was Lillian.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
