Hi everyone , I am doing research on a Beatrice Maud Halton born 1889 , baptised Prescot. To Sam Halton and Beatrice Halton , and would like to find out who she married etc if she did marry ? She resided with her family in Southport and is on the 1911 census with them . The name is quite common . And on searching have found lots of Beatrice’s with middle name Maud , which makes it more difficult . And seem to be scattered all over the place . So any help in trying to find her positively Would be great . Thanks

You say the name is common, yet there are only two birth registrations for this name between 1837 and 1915 - the one you are interested in and another in 1905!

There are only two marriages on the GRO index for a Beatrice M Halton between 1911 and 1921, in 1912 and 1913. The 1912 marriage is in Ormskirk which is nearer to where she was living in 1911, so that's the more likely. This Beatrice married William A Foulds.

Here's the 1921 census entry:

Beatrice Maud Foulds 1889 Manchester, Lancashire, England Bettws Y Coed Llanrwst Denbighshire

Dorothy Foulds 1914 Southport, Lancashire, England Bettws Y Coed Llanrwst Denbighshire

No record of her husband in Denbighshire.

It looks as if they may have divorced as there's this in the GRO index:

Marriages Dec 1931
Bell John E Foulds W.Derby 8b 1091 <<<<<<<<<<<
Bell John E Halton W.Derby 8b 1091 <<<<<<<<<<<
Cutler Thomas Jaycock W.Derby 8b 1091
Foulds Beatrice M Bell W.Derby 8b 1091 <<<<<<<<<
Halton Beatrice M Bell W.Derby 8b 1091 <<<<<<<<
Jaycock Hannah E Cutler W.Derby 8b 1091

This is probably her:

Name: Beatrice Maud Bell
Death Age: 86
Birth Date: 2 Oct 1889
Registration Date: Jan 1976
[Feb 1976]
[Mar 1976]
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration District: Bolton
Inferred County: Greater Manchester
Volume: 38
Page: 0309

Though I can't find an entry with the same dob in 1939. There is a married Beatrice Bell in Lancs b 10 Aug 1889, but no husband at home.Another possibility is that she married for a third time. Unfortunately the name Beatrice M Bell is pretty common! You would need to get the birth cert and see her dob to be clearer on this.
