I wouldn't dismiss the Laura and Edward Branton marriage. There are no other deaths for a Laura Branton on Ancestry or any remarriages,

Rose

Please would someone who has access to the 1911 census post who was living at 12 Haven Terrace, Grimsby?

Rose

Possibly Paul's death if he stayed in the area.

Can't find a corresponding birth so perhaps he was Irish?

I think this must be John Elston's first wife in 1911, 2 children both sadly dead

Rootgatherer - have looked at the Brennen/Branton marriage you found but I believe it is between 2 other people, both in Hull on 1911 census.

Hi All,
Kenneth's daughter has now told me that his early years were spent in, or around, Grimsby with various ( unknown ) family members. In his teens he was a boarder at St Georges School, Eastbourne - unknown who paid for this. His first job was in Nottingham where he used the surname Brant. He then lived with Paul Clifford, who he believed to be his father, in West London.
Laura/Norah was missing from her son's life for some years but "resurfaced" in Brighton in 1953. She said that she was born in Ireland. When she died her address was 44, Rosehill Terrace, Brighton.

I don't know if this will throw any more light on things.
Katie

I have asked Kenneth's daughter if she knows where he lived as a child. Am having trouble posting this as the website seems to be undergoing maintenance again!
Katie

RG, John Elsdon must have married Minnie Stephenson. Had a quick look for her in 1911, no luck so far.
Katie

I am not sure where Laura/Norah and Kenneth lived, other than the southern half of England, I will have to ask his daughter. Laura died in Brighton. Kenneth married in Kent.

On the 1911 John states that he is married, I wonder if this is his marriage?

Just as a check I have had a look for Jane Wellsted (Aunt of John in 1911).
This confirms that the John on the earlier census is indeed the same man as the one on the 1911 census with his Aunt.

FBG - no, nothing more is known about her. She must have been in the Hull/Grimsby area by May 1911 though.
