Hi Frank: I took a look at the PALFER line and found the marriage as you mention 1922 Reading. However, given accents etc there are lots of PULPHERs in Raunds in Northamptonshire. i.e. Leslie PULPHER b. 1891 - Thrapston Northamptonshire/Huntingdonshire - a large family on the 1891 & 1901 census. Could this be your "PUFFER" family with a little play on "sounds". Just another alterative. Margaret (b. 1894 r. Romford district) is in Chadwell Heath in 1901 in the parish of St Chads with mother Hannah & sister Lillian no sign of dad. Mother & sister born Scotland. Shirley O'Donnell Essex OPC Coordinator
