Hi.

Bessie Helena Foy, born Sampford Courtenay, Devon 1863 married Albert George Noy (born June 1871) in 1899

1901 census shows them in Paignton, Devon initials and surname as opposed to christian names....

No trace in 1911.

Seems as he died 19 May 1945 in San Antonio Texas.

I think there are records for Colorado State and Federal Naturalization 1868-1990 available.

Would like details of her death and date she emigrated etc if possible.

Thank you

Foy or Noy. You have both spellings

They emigrated 1905 according to the naturalisation papers
