I am confident that this is due to my complete stupidity but can anyone help?

Albert Edward Setterfield (b.1889) married Nellie Todd on 28th January 1912 at St Marys, Summers Town, Wandsworth.

He then goes on to marry Alice Maud Morris on the 1st November 1917 ( did he have any children with Alice? He had 2 Sons with Nellie)

Can anyone find Nellie's death or divorce? What may be just a coincidence a Nellie Setterfield joined the RAF on the 21st of May 1918.

Thanks for looking :)

Marriage index gives her name as Harriett Todd

Not in London area but could this be her death  :-\

Marriage entry was corrected FROM Nellie to Harriet  June 1912  ;D
She signed the amendment as H Setterfield  ::)

ADDED Harriet/Nellies age at marriage was 25 unless that information was wrong as well

That's probably the correct death,Rosie. :)

Take at look on the 1901 for Harriett TODD born 1882 Norwich. Father Frederick is a plasterer (as per marriage) and she has a brother Arthur.(witness?)

Brilliant Maureen.  I had tried and failed to find her on the next census  ;D  It would make sense of the Norfolk death as well.

That is clever.

I presume that the cause of death is never given, other than on the death certificate ?

Whilst I'm on, there was always a rumour within the family that Albert was awarded some sort of bravery award during WWI, with your genius, any way of finding out?
