James, I think you might have to get Florence Lena's birth cert (to get exact date of birth) and / or the Thomas Whittaker / Florence Selina Eighteen marriage cert for more info to be able to trace her forward.

I did wonder if Florence married the Thomas Whittaker who was 20 years her senior and died in Fylde in 1921? If she did then getting the marriage cert may not help. There was another Thomas b 1891 who died much later in Fylde, but it's not him as he is on the 1939 Register with a different wife who he married before 1920.

There are a number of Florence Whittaker births, marriages and deaths in Fylde =/

Deaths Jun 1971
WEBB Henry William 23Ap1908 Watford 4b 872

Does the date of birth on that match his (Elsie's husband's) dob on the 1939 Register, James? There's only one Henry William Webb birth registered Apr-Jun 1908 on the GRO index.

Edit - never mind, reading back through, I see they weren't yet married in 1939!

I don't know, I don't have a FMP sub at the moment, either. Merry found Elsie on the Register but didn't (as I recall) mention her husband's details, so perhaps she'd be kind enough to check.

Presumably it'll either be the June/Islington or September/Orsett birth.

For the first husband there's this:

Deaths Sep 1953
SIMPSON William 60 Watford 4b 196

...but of course, it's always possible he died outside of Watford.

Hmm, this one has photos, too...

I'm a bit confused now, as there's also a William James Simpson Q4 1892 Watford birth that I can't find any marriage/death for and thought might be the same man, but apparently not?

No, because she wasn't married at that date! (as Kate said)

You said the mum never married. Which death do you think is hers? The 1871/1935 one in Newbury?
