Thank you ever so much Mike. It looks like you have found the right Lizzie for me. I wonder what I shall find out about her family. Every turn I make on this branch of the family means one more surprise.

I was going gaga wondering how I was going to find her.

Thanks again.

Jill

Brains are fried so I'm hoping that someone with art history resources can help me.

In Sept 1940 Kate Eadie married artist Sidney Meteyard. She was his second wife.

I can't find anything that is certain about his first wife's birth or maiden name.

The first marriage took place as below but there is obviously one female missing and it's my Lizzie

Marriages Jun 1892 (>99%)

Hinett Albert Edward Worcester 6c 433
Meteyard Sidney Harold Worcester 6c 433
Roberts Aletha Agnes Worcester 6c 433


On GR there is a death for a Lizzie F age 80 in 1939. This gives her a yob as 1859+/-

I've also checked for her death under Meatyard too and using Elizabeth and Lizzie.

In the 1901 the original clearly gives her age as 26 (4 years younger than her husband) so yob 1875+/- born Amblecote, Staffs

In the 1911 the original is clear. She is age 47 (5 years younger than Sidney), having been married for 19 years. This gives her a yob as 1864+/- born Amblecote, Staffs

As per the 1911, there were no children from the marriage.

I've tried FreeBMD for the various possible birth years under Lizzie F with no surname and then looked to see if they are listed in 1892 as marrying.

I've Googled her and Sidney (who is amazing) and found mention of Kate who is hubby's 1st cousin, 2 x removed but I can't find anything for Lizzie. There is another Lizzie Meteyard but it isn't the one I need. Her timeline is totally different.

There is one person on GR shown as having a Sidney Meatyard on his tree but not the same one. My Sidney had his birth spelt Meatyard too but he was born Stourbridge.

With so much info not matching, I'm hoping someone with knowledge of art or with access to different records beyond here and FreeBMD might be able to tell me who Lizzie F actually was.

I need to get to bed very soon so if anyone replies and I don't say thank you immediately, that's the reason.

Thanks,Jill
