  Father	Walter Herbert BOOTES,   b. 12 Mar 1879, Kingsdown near Lynsted, Kent, England ,   bur. 11 May 1962, St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England  (Age ~ 83 years)
  Mother	Agnes Mabel BRENCHLEY,   b. 26 Jul 1880, Newnham, Kent, England ,   d. Dec Q 1968, Chatham Reg Dist, Kent, England  (Age 87 years)
  Married	24 Jul 1900	Ss. Peter and Paul’s Church, Newnham, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Bootes, Walter Herbert to Brenchley, Agnes Mabel q3 1900  Faversham RD 2a 1795 (only the one marriage of a Bootes to a Brenchley, anytime, anywhere, and names fit those with Iris and her husband in 1939 [on FreeBMD on 3 Nov 2015]) Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 22 Mar 2023) The 1901 census shows that Agnes had a nephew Reginald who was a gardener. Did Walter, also a gardener (and a groom) work in the same garden as Reginald? Is this how Agnes and Walter met? Despite having been married nearly 11 years by the time of the 1911 census, it shows they had had just 2 children, although they had children born every couple of years from 1910 - 1920. Checking the birth registration index suggests it is true; there are no other BOOTES children with an mother's maiden name of BRENCHLEY.
