Yes it is possible that Edith did give Kenneth's his father's name but wasn't in fact married to George Horwell. I think he was already a married man and I vaguely remember a story about her working for a wealthy man. If I can establish that it was Edith or Florence Edith Lupton who married Squire Heald then I can try and work with that thread and leave Horwell aside for a bit.

So, as far as I can tell with your kind help this is how it unfurls:
Florence Edith Lupton had an affair with a George Horwell and they had a son Kenneth (my grandfather).
Edith Lupton later married a Squire Heald and we are not clear if there were any more children
Squire Heald's parents are Harry Heald and Elizabeth Heald. He had brothers William, Harry and a sister Margaret
Am I right so far?

Kat, you got it! I was just searching for a marriage and can't find one between Florence/Edith Lupton and Squire Heald. Then I proceeded to look for all marriages that included a Florence/Edith Lupton; thinking again that maybe she married in between Horwell and Heald relationships. Here are the marriages that I found:

Kat,

I have to sign off now (getting the evil eye looks from my two four legged boys, Teague and Rory). Time to go feed them.

This family really has me puzzled because I could not find even a marriage for a Squire Heald/Held or anything that remotely looked like his name. Sorry....good luck!

My suggestion would take a break from Squire and Florence/Edith. Search the the other Heald families and maybe you might get lucky. Often times I have gone to another lineage for information and found descendents of that individual(s) who had a clue.

Ok. I must admit all this thinking has got me very tired and I can't stare at this laptop screen anymore.

What I will do though is write all this down and look at it in the morning again.

Can you tell me if the marriages you have listed above have Florence/Edith Lupton's dob as 1902?

Will then see if I can acquire some more information on each marriage ie. spouses name etc. Unless you are telling me that all the marriages have a Squire Heald as the groom..................!!

All I can say is Edith sure was an active lady!! He he!

Thank you so much for all your help. Could I allow you access to my family tree? I've amended it to add the info you have given me. If it's wrong I will remove it - I just needed to put it all in perspective.
