First try "Search all member trees" under "Search" at the top of this page.
Enter details of Nancy or any of her relatives. If you find a matching result, click "Find out more" beside the tree owner's name, and contact them.

Explain to them why you are interested - don't just ask to see their tree.

Her relatives are highly unlikely to happen upon your post here, I'm afraid - you'll have to search them out.

for our reference:

Births Jun 1918 (>99%)
Baker Nancy Tovey Bedwellty 11a 170

You might need to buy a copy of the marriage cert to be sure this is your Nancy who married Jack:

Marriages Dec 1936 (>99%)
Baker Nancy Honeyfield Bedwellty 11a 285
Honeyfield Jack L Baker Bedwellty 11a 285

Yvonne was born in Stafford in 1945, and seems to have had an older brother Terence, born 1937 in Bedwellty.
Both registered as Honeyfield, but Yvonne also registered as Elliott..

Her birth record was then amended in 1961, to Elliott.

Terence/Terrence married in Bedwellty in 1964, and had three children born in Newport within the next ten years.

You can find all the above information on freebmd.org.uk.

The eldest of Terence's children married in 1993, and had two sons.

At least as at the 2012-13 electoral roll, that couple were living in Chichester, per 192.com - but I don't have credits to see the full address..

Nancy's second marriage:

Marriages Dec 1946 (>99%)
Baker Nancy Elliott Coventry 9c 1675
Elliott James A Honeyfield Coventry 9c 1675
Elliott James A Baker Coventry 9c 1675
Honeyfield Nancy Elliott Coventry 9c 1675

It doesn't look as if they had any children - apart from Yvonne..

There are several marriages of women named Yvonne P Elliott - any (or none) of them could be hers.

There was one (without the middle initial) in Coventry in 1967 - if that's relevant. You'd have to buy the cert to see her parents' names.

EDIT:
Yes, that's the correct marriage -
they were living in Leicestershire in 2013-14.

Thanks so much ArgyllGran, I'm pretty new to this (as you can probably tell !) but how on earth did you get so much information so quickly !!

I've ordered a couple of the certificates, but it does suck you in too wider searches !! I now know Nancy had another child with a 3rd person - Alfred Miles - whilst in Manchester in 1951, but I'm struggling to find a record for this

Are Divorce records public anywhere ?

It's just a case of practice, and knowing where to look, John!

Info about divorce records here:

However, you'll note that less than 0.2% of divorce records survive from after 1937.

Re a child in 1951 -

have a look on freebmd.org.uk.

If you search Births, with father's name Miles and mother's name Baker, in 1951 in Manchester, you'll see there was a girl born.

But you'd have to buy the cert to know if that child had the right parents or not .

Miles and Baker are not uncommon names.

You don't say if the child was a boy or a girl.

There's also the possibility that the child was registered under Nancy's name rather than Miles.
There was a boy with parents Baker/Baker (or an unmarried Baker mother) in 1951 Manchester.
