Herbert Boase b 1880 S Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 47, bap. 22 Sep 1880, at Emmanuel Church, Forest Gate, was the son of William Henry Boase and Mary Anna Stephens, although I've been unable to find his parents marriage or they or Herbert on the censuses of 1881 or 1891. 

Herbert and Ruby had at least five children:
