« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 15:45 GMT (UK) »
We are trying to trace Elizabeth Maria Nash born in 1878 in Portsmouth. We are looking for her husband, children, divorce and death. We are in Canada.
Thank you
Alan Wright

The 1903 marriage to John Curtis looks highly likely

We are not allowed to do 1911 look ups, but that will probably show you what children they had by 1911. Then the Birth index from 1911 onwards give mums maiden name, so you can see if there are any Curtis children with mmn Nash born after that.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Are you certain that there was a Divorce?

Divorce became easier (and less expensive)  after 1926 (I think).
Take a look at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/divorces/
