Looking to locate Elizabeth in 1891 under one of three surnames.
Born Elizabeth Payne 26-3-1863 in Wisbech district
1871 in Rutland with parents Thomas & Sarah
1881 General servant in pub in Leeds, Yorkshire
27-3-1882 Back in Grantham, Lincolnshire where her parents settled and Elizabeth married John Watkin
1891 Missing
1901 & 1911 Elizabeth is living in Balderton, Newark, Nottinghamshire as the wife of Thomas Bird.
Her niece Fanny Kemp is also with them.
1911 Census states 25 years married, no children but in fact they didn't marry until 22-7-1916 with Elizabeth Watkin as a widow. This was the year after Fanny married.
I can't find Elizabeth, John or Thomas in 1891
John born 1860 Grantham a boilermaker is with his family before the marriage but disappears after 1882, no children found
Thomas born 1861 Newark was a bricklayer
Can anyone see Elizabeth or the two men in her life?
Thank you, Comberton

John born 1860 Grantham a boilermaker is with his family before the marriage but disappears after 1882, no children found
I guess you haven't found a death for him?

Have you ruled out this Thomas? All Births Notts, Notts,
RG12/2694/82/52
1891 Pritchard Terrace, St Mary, Notts.
Thomas Bird Head Married Male 31 1860 Bricklayer
Mary Bird Wife Married Female 30 1861
John Bird Son - Male 6 1885
Sarah Bird Daughter - Female 5 1886
William Bird Son - Male 4 1887
Added.
I don’t see any births for those Bird children. Do they have another surname?

No Lincolnshire death for John and too common a name if he moved away. Looking at the family mentioned. Thomas married as a bachelor but may not have been. Thanks for the replies
