Thanks Milliepede, having looked at the family tree for  Isaac Richard Frondigown on Ancestry with Isaac's photo on I see it now, thank you. I have messaged the owner of the tree.

Thank you.

Looking on Ancestry it is bringing up Clara Phoebe Bertie Hughes, birth 1870, Clapham, Surrey, death 1941, Surrey as Isaac Frondigoun's wife - so this throws doubt on whether this is my Phoebe.

Update; I have managed to obtain a copy of the divorce petition, thank you - reading it now.

Thanks both for your replies.

I have not explored those possibilities before regarding Phoebe marrying an Isaac Frondigoun so do not have the marriage certificate or divorce petition, also not heard or come across a Joseph Banham before.

If it helps Phoebe's parents were Samuel Thomas Hughes 1827-1895 and Diana Hughes 1830-1892, as a family in 1871 were living at 24, South Street, Queensborough, Sheppy, Kent, in 1881 they living in a travelling van at Canal Field, Milton in Gravesend, Kent.

Any help or info you can give would be great either to rule in or out it is the Phoebe I am looking for.

I have also never been able to trace her death so think it must of been under a different surname.

Hi Francy76,

On the 1901 census my grandfather and his parents Phoebe and John Davis were living at number 4 Short Road, West Ham, Essex, and his father's occupation was listed as a hawker.

In 1906 he was found and put on a charge of ‘wandering’ and admitted to St Vincent’s School for young boys, Whitstable, Kent. At the age of ten (1909) he was transferred to Vincent’s Industrial School, Dartford, Kent, and was discharged on the 19th January 1915.

The surname Davis comes from his father John Michael Davis born on the 12/02/1881 Brentford, Middlesex and died in January 1958 Kensington, London.

Any help on Phoebe and her children would be much appreciated, as even after all these years there are still so many unknowns that I am keen to crack.

Thank you

Edited: due to typo put year in twice
