That's them! Interesting that the mother is called Clara as Nellie and John Henry named one of their daughters Ivy Clara. Ancestry have listed her as Nellie Wootton in 1911 but on the original it states Nellie Wood - married under one year! It also states she is a book folder and on her marriage certificate it states she worked as a book binding factory hand.Also father William's occupation matches. Thank you so much rootgatherer.

The above family look hopeful as that William was still alive at the time of Nellie's marriage?

Births Jun 1891 Wootton Nellie Aylesbury 3a 784

Ah ok thanks for the update rootgatherer.

Yes I have the 1911 census for Disraeli Road - the witnesses were Frederick's brother and his wife and their mother Amelia. I thought perhaps Nellie might have still been living there but no such luck.

For info - this is 1911 census for Frederick, Nellie's 1st husband:

Name: Frederick Wood
Age in 1911: 23
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1888
Relation to Head: Boarder
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Sevenoaks, Kent, England
Civil parish: Bedford
County/Island: Bedfordshire

John Mitchell 42
Frederick Wood 23

The certificate information from Ancestry tree is actually from my tree - just to clarify - John Henry Wood was a bachelor when he married Nellie - he was never married to his first "wife".

I know of two children that Nellie and Frederick had:
Frederick William Wood b 1912 Marylebone
Prudence Doris Wood b 1913 Brentford

I know they had another child according to the 1911 census return for Frederick who died but I have not been able to work out who that is yet.

Thanks Chris Ho for highighting that death may relate to a spinster - back to the drawing board on her death date then too!

Thanks Rootgatherer for clarifying those census - I will have another look at those.

The witnesses from the first marriage are still at the same address in 1911

Name: Violet Lilian Wood

Well, the above Helen / Nellie can be eliminated as this seems to be her marriage.

So back to the drawing board..................

(could be the below)

(spinster of 10, St. Georges House, Coptic Street London, died University College Hospital London. Probate to Frances Alberta Wood, Violet Anne Wood spinsters)

Chris :)

edits (Frances Death 1962, Violet Death 1964, both London)

Is this one of their children Frederick W Wood J/F/M 1912 St Marylebone. 1a 946

Could the W be for William named after her dad?

Info off marriage certs which are on a Ancestry tree.
She married 1/11/1910 address 18 Disraeli Road Putney age 21 = 1889 it says Fredericks dad Henry is deceased,her dad William a builders foreman witnesses C Wood and Violet Wood.

25/6/1923 she married John Henry Wood it says he was a batchelor but he was a widow.Nellie age 32 = 1891.
His dad Henry deceased her dad William a Builder doesn't say deceased on either of the certs.
Witnesses A Cleaver,R Hiard?

Maryb

Any clues from the witnessess at Nellie's marriages?

Sarah, the Maud and Nellie on the 1901 census are together on the 1891 census (with Nellie listed as Helen) that I posted above. The girls are with their parents John and Mary Ann in 1891. Looks like Mary Ann died in 1893 and john married Elizabeth Giddons in 1894.

I think the Maud in the 1891 census that you have posted is a different family.

To summarise here.

Ah ok - see what you mean. Found this 1891 entry for a Maud Wootton which could be one of those girls - looks like that Nellie would have been born slightly later in the year so doesn't appear -

Mother listed as a widow so perhaps Nellie was conceived and then the father died? That said, I looked up the 1881 census and she is also listed as Widowed then too so perhaps she had lots of illigitimate children.

I think this Nellie married Arthur Tremayne Gwilliam and appears on census with that surname so looks like that lead has come to an end.

As there isn't an obvious entry for Nellie 9with father William, a builder) on the 1891 or 1901 census records it is possible that her father died when she was too young to remember him or perhaps she was illegitimate and never knew him.

It is not uncommon for inaccurate details to be given for the father on a marriage entry.... often the details given are those of a grandfather or stepfather or entirely ficticious.

Nellie's father was William not John so that rules those ones out as well. William was listed as a Builder in both 1910 and 1923 marriages - no mention of whether he was deceased or not.

What occupation did Nellie give for her father when she married please?

sorry worth a try

Unfortunately that Lillian shows up on the 1911 census with her sister Rosina - still listed as Wootton and single - Nellie was married by then so it's unlikely it's her.
