Aha!

(thanks) ( merry xmas S )

My ggf ( and another rellie ) at Lords.
GGF passed on 1933.
Killick name rings a bell, but will have to delve deep into un-digitised history.

ps wish subscribers would add ALL detailed references to info rather than forcing us all to repeat research (and errors ) then having to wait for confirmation.

To be honest I've taken it all with a pinch of salt. I thought I would do a little research of my own. The information my other half's dad has given me is very vague.
Only that his father and him were left a little money when she died.I don't think he ever met her.

Elsie Page left a will, it might be worth getting that to see if they were left money  https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=Page&yearOfDeath=1983&page=4#calendar

That's one possibility I have is Elsie mother Elizabeth Ann Killick was shown as a  widow in the 1911 census. There is another marriage registered
Name:   Elizabeth Ann Killick
Event Type:   Marriage
Registration Quarter:   Apr-May-Jun
Registration Year:   1842
Registration District:   St. Marylebone
County:   London
Event Place:   St. Marylebone, London, England
Volume:   1
Page:   202
Line Number:   30
...
I'm wondering  whether Elsies mother remarried. How would I be able to find the spouses name without having to purchase the certificate.

I’m not following that last post I’m afraid. You say that Elizabeth Ann Killick is a widow in 1911, presumably under the name of Killick? So how can that be her marriage in 1842? It is also far too early isn’t it?

In answer to the question about how to find who they married, you have to look at the next census and from there should be able to work it out.

Hi

"The lady i'm trying to find out info on is a Elsie Florence Killick stage name Elsie Randolph she was born 9th of December 1904 and died the 15th of October 1982".

Would you just confirm how you linked Killick to Randolph?

Thanks
Ray
