Hello,
I haven’t been able to find the pair in 1939. They lived in the Barnet area I understand, and Flora (known as Lily, as that was her middle name) died in Barnet in 1969. They’d married in 1926. Flora was born on the 28th of December 1892, but I’m not sure about Thomas, as I haven’t found much information on him.
I’d appreciate any help!

Ancestry have them in Hornsey
ADDED FindMyPast have them as Handen, search for Thomas as Flora has no first name

That would make sense, as Lily grew up in Hornsey. Thanks for that! I’ll check it out now.

Ethel Anne (wife) dies aged 41 in 1921 Edmonton
Thomas re-marries 1926 to Flora
As you know they appear in 1939 register with his son from first marriage
Thomas probably died aged 77 in 1952 Islington

Excellent! Thanks for all that. I did wonder why they never had any children of their own; Lily would only have been 33 when they married. Her sister Helen never had any children either, and their brother John (Jack) married his first cousin in 1942, and never tried for children on medical advice.

It was fun to do. You can easily trace the family back ie Thomas's father, think the father married at least twice.
Keep safe,
John
