I have thought for a while that Nellie may have married bigamously as I have not been able to find a death notification for Harry Laycock, or a divorce.  Looking at his war record there is memo that shows that Nellie had been unfaithful by 1916 to someone called Wormald whilst he was in the army.

I say that I have been looking for a death notice for Harry since on Nellie's marriage certificate to Robert Batty Threlfall on 31/3/1920 she is classed as a widow aged 26 years.  She also married under the name of Smith and not Laycock.

But on the birth certificate of her son Robert in 1929 she is called Nellie Threlfall formerly Laycock.

I shall have a look at all the thoughts that folks have been kind enough to suggest.

Thanks for all the information.

I haven't been able to find her on any census, though I do know that she worked as a domestic servant at the School House, East Road, Lancaster in 1920 at the time of her marriage to Robert Batty Threlfall.  After this time she 'went back on the road' travelling.

I shall get a copy of the Nellie Threlfall death certificate from 1962 to see if that throws out any more information.

Hi
I'm looking for information on Nellie Smith bc 1894, the wife of the following
Harry Laycock - b 1892 - married 13 March 1912
She deserted him during WWI whilst he was in France
Robert Batty Threlfall - b 20 May 1892 - married 31 March 1920

She also had another relationship prior to Robert Batty Threlfall with a Mr Courtney with who she had a daughter on 12 September 1918.

Nellie came from a travellers family and one of her sons, Robert Threlfall b 12 Feb 1929, was born in the 'field' of the Swan Inn at Addingham, Yorkshire.

Any information on Nellie Smith would be appreciated.

This looks hopeful as my family of Peet's are from Newark and Nottingham.  Though I can't manage to establish a direct link back just now, but will keep digging and aiming towards it.

Many thanks Jane

« on: Wednesday 03 August 05 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Am looking for any information regarding the Sapiera family who were Russian immigrants in the last part of the 19th Century.  In particular
Alec and his wife Ada, nee Friedman
their sons Phillip, Hyman and daughter Bessie

They could have been under the name Shapiera as that was the name used by Phillip aka Percival, who married Gertrude Eldon.  Phillip was born in Soho.

May also be known as Shapiro

Thanks

Nottinghamshire / Winterbotham - Peet
« on: Monday 01 August 05 14:42 BST (UK)  »
In my family tree I have a Florence Louisa Winterbotham Peet b 1880.  Whilst seraching for connections I have found a lot of Peet's who possibly have Winterbotham or Winterbottom as one of their middle names.

Such as Anne W Peet
Gertrude A W Peet etc

Was wondering if anyone can shed a light as to why Winterbotham is connected with the Peets and is used as a middle name?

Many thanks
Steve

Hi Melanie from not so sunny Nottingham.

I don't suppose any of your Peet's made it to Nottingham or Newark on Trent did they??

Regards

Steve
