Find Ancestors

Rechecking ancestors, there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding Florence Edith Meads 1895, born Hurley Berks in 1901 census, to George Meads and second wife Eliza Hannah (Bowler).
I have her marrying Leopold Arthur (sometimes transposed) Sharp in late 1916, (Registered Reading). But other sites have her with diferent partners.

They had 2 boys Frank and Arthur who were born and registered in Oxford and Reading respectively. Father "Leo" died in AMJ 1921 in Berkshire, but the boys seem to have later settled in Essex. With Florence?

There seem to be no records of her re-marrying, or early death?
I've come to the proverbial "Brick Wall" with this. Can anyone find further information please?

Terence Meads. South Australia.

Here she is in 1939. She had remarried to William J Moody in 1925.

If you look on Freebmd, you will see the births for the two redacted children on the 1939 register. One registered Pancras and one in Romford.

The daughter is on the ER until 2014 in Hornchurch, Essex. She may have chosen to be removed from the open ER then and may still be at the same address.

"But other sites have her with diferent partners."

As always - never assume that what other people put on their trees is accurate!

Many thanks to all of you. You seem to have more resouces than my 4 sites that I use, as I have rechecked things and still did not find what you have!
Many others had not found the above information and posted doubtful items.

You all do a wonderful job relieving our frustrations.
Again thank you all very much.
