I finally found Ellen & her kids on the 1911 passenger list, with Divett badly mistranscribed as Dwell.   ::)  It lists her mother as C. Fox and the 2nd page says they were going to Dubuque, Iowa to her husband at 2118 Couler Ave.

Wow thank you so much shellyesq
I will see if I can find her leaving Southampton.

I have been searching for her death which I now think would be in the USA. I have eliminated Zena M B Johnson from my tree as I think I have made a mistake as I found her baptism record and the fathers name doesn’t match. Therefore the 1939 record I have is the wrong Ellen B Johnson!
I can’t find a marriage to Randolph Divett so maybe a death could be registered in the name Johnson.

Sorry but I have another query  ::)
Who is Mona? Is she another “wife” for Randolph? I’m not sure the birth dates mentioned match Ellen Bessie!

I did wonder if this was Kathleen Irene Brooks rather than Brooke ?  Maybe the name is coincidence ?- Kathleen Irene Brooks 4 August 1902 - January 2001 (aged 98 years)
Registration Date Jan 2001   Windsor and Maidenhead Berkshire
Register Number M38 - District and Subdistrict 3222 - Entry Number 180

I have this record in my tree but now I am having second thoughts due to her moving to the USA

Were the parents of Zena listed on her 1940 marriage ?

Charles A Oliphant- Mark - Registration Date Apr 1940 Paddington London
Spouse Zena M Barham-Johnson
Volume Number 1 a - Page number 145.

Sandra
Unfortunately our marriage indexes don't show the parents names and I have not sent for certificates as she is my 3rd cousin 3 x removed and you do have to draw the line somewhere!! ;D

Good evening all 7:30 pm GMT
Thank You All So So much or all your hard work in finding Caroline Fox and subsequently her daughter Ellen Bessie and her family.
I suspect Ellen wasn't actually married to Randolph Divett but he would have been the father of some of her children.
Ellen was divorced from Mr Johnson before any of her children were born even though the were registered as Johnson in England.
Lets say Ellen Bessie Fox was no angel!

Ellen Bessie was back in the Uk for the 1939 registration (WW2 Identity cards) but needless to say, at this point i have not been able to find her death -maybe i should search with the surname Divett! Also on this record she is with a daughter born in 1915 which is the time that she would have been in the USA
Zena Muriel Barnham Johnson bn 1915  ???? with no birth registration in the UK is she a Divett?

Once again Many Thanks

Wendy

Thank you Jamjar for your information

What I am looking for is United States records from 1913 onwards as I have an extensive set of records about Caroline and her family from the UK.

From information in this thread it appears that she died in 1918 in Minnesota.

Looks like the 1918 death may be her.  Her father's name is transcribed as H. Burlbeck.

For the very reasonable price of $9.00 you can order her death certificate.

Thank you
Can this be done from the UK?
