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!

It's possible that they are two different wives, but I think it's more likely that Ellen's name evolved into Mona.  Son Edward gave his parents' names as Randolph E. Divett and Mona Fox on his Social Security application.
