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

Name: Helen Wootton
Age: 26
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1891
Spouse Name: Joseph Henry Purdy
Spouse Age: 32
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 11 Mar 1917
Parish: Rotherhithe St Barnabas
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: John Wootton <<Dr. Sergeant Master Royal Engineers. (Deceased)
Spouse Father Name: Joseph Purdy
Register Type: Parish Register



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

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

Name: Violet Lilian Wood
Age in 1911: 23
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1888
Relation to Head: Daughter-in-law
Gender: Female
Birth Place: Putney
Civil parish: Wandsworth
County/Island: London
Country: England
Street Address: 18 Disraeli Rd, Putney
Marital Status: Married
Registration district: Wandsworth
Registration District Number: 26
Sub-registration district: Putney
ED, institution, or vessel: 12
Piece: 2443
Household Members: Name Age
Amelia Jane Wood 53 Boarding House Keeper, 9 children born, 5 living 4 have died
Violet Lilian Wood 23 Daughter-in-law. married 2 years, 1 child born, 1 child living
Charles Llewellyn Wood 22 Son
Lily Causton 57 Boarder

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.

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:

EDIT

Sorry, I should have said that Nellie was a Book Folder on that 1911 census.

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.
