I have a Beatrice Taylor ch 12 Nov 1876 she appears on family census 1881 and 1891 , possibly a visitor on 1901 census , then I pick her up on the 1911 census where she is now Beatrice Ashton with a child Mary Kathleen Ashton 3yrs old born Hull ,the census says she had been married 5 years (1906+-)also on the census is her mother Frances Caroline Clark/Taylor who is classed as a visitor all the addresses match up OK. Never found a husband or marriage in that name. Mother FC Clark died 1922 and her probate mentions Beatrice Ashton as a spinster along with her sister Edith Gertrude Gill nee Taylor.
Beatrice married Percy Brook 1923 and the child became Mary Kathleen Brook , on the birth transcript as well as Ashton and was mentioned in Beatrice Taylor / Brooks probate as a spinster.
My questions are can she be married and still be a spinster? Ive researched the marriage for so long with no results ,there is a Beatrice Taylor marrying a Fred Ashton 1906 but its not my Beatrice ,dates wrong,father wrong my father is Alfred Herbert Taylor. Is it possible to marry and be divorced without any records? Thanks Alex
