Well found Choccy :)

Yes, well found Choccy....the tree on Ancestry has her birth date as 03 March 1879

I wonder if the Florence Eleanor Short living with Ivy Lilian is the daughter i.e. Ivy's sister?

Right only 1939 entry to fit the birthdate is

Florence E Beadle (Jones) 03 Mar 1879 Female Dressmaker Widowed 9 2

So there is this marriage

Well done- so you and Det are probably correct about the ER- and it being the sister and not the mother.

Well I am sure about the 1938 one but that tree on Ancestry has her marrying a Mr Shaw and dying in 1960

Yes, but, I don't think the 1970 electoral register is connected- according to "the tree", the sister married in 1941 to Ernest Shaw and died in 1987.

EDIT:- Jude keeps pinching my words and typing them faster than me!!

AustinQ

AustinQ Report 2 Jul 2016 11:49

Snap Jude- although the record the death is attached to is for 1987

Just to recap the information:

It is likely that Florence Eleanor Foster born 3rd March 1879, married William Henry Short in Islington 1900.

Florence, as identified by Jude, remarried (possibly bigamous) to William Alexander Jones in Rochford 1922

William Henry Short sought a divorce in 1923! (as found by Choccy) and remarried Annie E Staff in 1924

In 1939 Florence is listed as Widowed

10 years (1949) later Florence marries Percy L Beadle in Rochford.

Florence dies in 1957 Rochford.
