George Floyd versus Nellie Floyd and William Hayes, divorced 1895.

Karen, if you haven't got access to FMP, send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you the image.

Hi,
Nellie was born 1856/59....of course she could have lied about her age.

Karen is trying to find what happened to Nellie Spender/Kentleton/Floyd in 1911

Regards Vera

Message from Karen

I have recently found that Florence was the daughter of my GGrandmothers first marriage. She is on the 1891 census as Florence Floyd. In the 1901 census a Florence Floyd is registered as a visitor of Susan Simpson, George Floyd was remarried to Emilie Davies, but i cannot find any record for Florence's mother Nellie.

Mel,
How wonderful. Hope they continue to do well.

Regards Vera

Yes - he was Florence's father prior to the couple spliting up post 1881

But is he anything to do with Florence?

Re the marriage Mel found I think the below is Rose E and William Sear in 1911 so a Nellie Floyd would have married Arthur Horton

Rose Elizabeth Elston Apr-May-Jun 1907 Islington London

**** Nellie Floyd Apr-May-Jun 1907 Islington London

Arthur Horton Apr-May-Jun 1907 Islington London

William Henry Sear Apr-May-Jun 1907 Islington London

Had a message from Karen.

It seems Nellie and George were her grandparents. As far as I can see George Ffloyd junior is her father as I think George Senior remarried in 1897.

Can someone look up the 1911 for George and Emily please and I think I may have found a marriage for Bellie Ffloyd in 1907 to either ArthurHorton or William Henry Sear in Islington but can't find it on the London Marriages.

I can't either and there is no sign of her and Florence in 1901. As Nellie's second husband George remarried in 1897 I wondered if Nellie remarried.

Karen,
Cannot find a death for Nellie.
Can anyone else.

Regards Vera

I wonder if Thomas eventually married Emily from 1891

Presumably this is Thomas in 1891
