The likely chronology is this (with speculative bits in italics):

1908 (Sep qtr): Birth of Ivy May WHITEFOOT, Paddington
1926 (Dec qtr): Marriage of Ivy May WHITEFOOT to Edward F C EARL, Willesden
1927 (Jun qtr): Birth of a son in Willesden
1928 (Jun qtr): Birth of a daughter in Willesden
1930 (Jun qtr): Birth of a son in Willesden
1930-1941: Divorce? of Ivy & Edward FC EARL
1941 (Jun qtr): Ivy remarries to Edward SANTON
1942 (Jun qtr): Edward FC EARL remarries to Dorothy M PATTERSON
Before mid-1947: Divorce? of Ivy and Edward SANTON
1947 (Jun qtr): Ivy remarries to Bernard M CAULFIELD
1947 (Jun qtr): Edward SANTON remarries to Annie J MORRIS?

Ivy's first husband Edward F C EARL seems likely to be Edward Frederick Charlton EARL, 1899-1951.  After his death (3 Sep 1951, Chelsea) letters of administration were granted to his widow Dorothy May EARL.

Electoral registers show that by 1935 Ivy was living separately from Edward Frederick Charlton Earl; indeed she was at 88 High St, Willesden with Edward Santon (future husband?), Joseph Santon, Alfred Wanless, George Francis Whitefoot and Doris Winifred Whitefoot.

From other records it looks as though the last two named may have been Ivy's brother (b 1905) and sister-in-law.

Hi guys i've found a 1911 census on free family search but it only gives her details and not her parents. Can't find her 1911 census on any other genealogy  sites. please help

[Mabel Bagshawe]

are you restricting your 1911 search by age? She's on Ancestry but her age has been mistranscribed as 20 rather than 2, due to the rather twiddly tail

Got you, you're brilliant. . Why didn't I see it before, according to the census Ivy's father George would have been eight when she was born, hence transcription error. Thanks very much Mabel, many regards, David.

Just to add mix things up a bit more, it looks as though Ivy's brother George Francis Whitefoot  and sister-in-law Doris nee Few must have divorced during the 1940's. George F Whitefoot married Doris E Reynolds in Northampton in 1947 and Doris Whitefoot or Few married Joseph Santon in Willesden in 1949. Presumably the same Joseph Santon who lived with the family in the 1930's.
