Hi I'm trying to locate information for my husbands 2x great grandmother.
Her birth name is Florence Beck.
She married Thomas Stokes in January 1911 in Leicester, England but by the end of January she was a widow.
On the 1911 census shes boarding with her mother and stepfather (Mary and Arthur Foulds) and is listed as a widow with no possible new partner living with her.
By July 1912 she had her first daughter, Phyliss Stokes. No father listed on birth certificate but Florence is listed as the widow of Thomas Stokes on the record.
Now she marries for a second time to a George Deegan (no marriage date found for them yet) but they had their first child together in 1914 in Ontario Canada and I believe George may have been in the Canadian Army during ww2.
They seem to separate or divorce because in 1927 Florence then has a child in Montreal with a Howard Oran Vandusen who was born 1903 in Smith Falls, Lanark, Ontario.
What I would like to find is:
Marriage between Florence and George Deegan.
Marriage between Florence and Howard Vandusen.
Travel documentation for Florence going over to Canada between 1912 and 1914.
And I can't seem to find out where Florence's first daughter Phyliss is between 1912-1939.
Phyliss is documented in England in 1912 on her birth certificate and again on her marriage certificate in 1939 and also on the 1939 register.
Did Phyliss go with her mother to Canada too?
Also to add, Phyliss isn't named on her mother's obituary. All Florence's other children are.
Thank you
