Looking for a death - I think!

[Tilly Mint]

I have a Ethel Maud Johnson nee Knight b c 1884/5, she married in Scotforth Lancaster in Dec 1906 aged 19 to William Johnson. They had 4 children.This is the 1st of (i think) 3 marriges. I have William living with his (next) wife? in the 1911, he dosent have any of these kids with him, i have never found a marriage to this one - Harriet Pedder but, on her d cert, it has wife of william Johnson. He then goes on to marry Florence Ansboro in 1921.

Please bear with me, i dont have access to a lot of my stuff - my compter is broken and, i'm using my daughters laptop....and i hate it:(

I only found out William was m 3 times when i got the c yesterday....Just thought.....i wonder if they divorced:confused:

Thanks....

There are loads of Ethel M Johnson deaths, but none seem to have exactly the right age. Where was your Ethel born, so we can look for her on the 1911 census in case she was still alive? And have you found the children in 1911? If not, can you give us their names etc so we can look for them?

Thanks Kite..

The 4 children to this marriage..Ethel Maud b 1906, William b 1907 both died at birth, then there's Margaret Ellen Johnson b 1908 and Caroline Johnson c 1910. Ethel was born in Aldershot Hampshire.
