not sure if this is the right place to add this!!
I was wondering if anyone could help. My grandfather John James Dodd born 1887 and Florence Thompson born 1888 married in 1909. It is said in the family that Florence died on the Lusitania 1915 I have not been able to find any evidence of this or a death certificate for Florence. When John remarried Catherine Derrick 1919 on the certificate he stated he was a bachelor. If anyone knows where I could find any more information about Florence please let me know. Thank you

thank you I have found their wedding in manchester and they are on the manchester census in 1911. I think you may be right about him not getting a divorce. I know that he went to Canada to work and it was understood she was with him in Canada he returned at the onset of war to join up. we thought she returned later on the Lusitania but maybe she didn't return with him and stayed in Canada I will have to look further. thank you for you time, sorry it took so long to reply but was on holiday
