Still no further with information on Nellie Smith but I would think this was the death for their son Clifford birth date 13/7/1914 ( information from army records ) died September 1982 Manchester
Aged 68

I think Nellie Laycock lived in Shipley for a number of years, listed on the ER'S  with possibly a son John, checked 1925-1949

Steve, have you checked on 1939 register for Harry Laycock?

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.

[rosie17]

Yes also on the births for her other children she uses the maiden name Laycock    Does it say the name of her father on her marriage to Robert Threfall ...Is it the same name James William ?
