42 Oyster Street, Portsmouth electoral roll look up 1912/1913

I suspect JCM Field was still alive in 1911, possibly as plain John Field in the Portsmouth area but separate from Beatrice (free index suggests).

Not born 1885 but I'm wondering if this might be his death entry

Looks good - there is no JCM born 1882.

If so, unless there was a divorce (not common in the early 1900s as it was expensive) she married illegally.

Alfred John Goodwin was still at No.42 in Dec 1916 - an item in the Portsmouth Evening News.

Re "threads need to be merged" I confess I am a little confused (not that it takes much!!).

Alfred John Godwin died 30 March 1934, at St Mary's Hospital, Portsmouth. Aged 76
He was obviously much loved, there are notices placed by family members in the Portsmouth Evening News for several days afterwards.
In loving memory from his loving wife, and a granddaughter. Says "United with his son, whom he dearly loved".
In loving memory from his loving daughter Lil, son in law Alf, and a grandson
Ditto from his loving daughter Doll, and son in law Leonard, and two grandchildren
From his loving daughter Edith, son in law Harold, and a granddaughter
From his loving son Sid and daughter in law Ada

There was a Thanks for Sympathy message on 5 April, from Mrs Godwin and family of 42 Oyster Street, Old Portsmouth.

It looks like daughter "Doll" was Ellen Rosina Godwin who seems to have married Leonard Oxford in Portsmouth in 1914 (as mentioned by lizdb), with birth registrations of two children following (matching the names in the announcements)
But nothing from Beatrice Maud!

Which perhaps is pointing more to the fact that she went off with Sydney. I wonder what happened to the two Field grandchildren from 1911?

[jonwarrn]

There is the granddaughter mentioned in the announcement with Alfred's wife, don't know who she is though.
A possibility for one of the children of John Field + Beatrice -
Birth, June 1906 Portsmouth
Field, Ellen Agnes
mother Godwin

Marriage, June 1929 Portsmouth
Field, Ellen A.
Hodgkinson, Emmanuel

Death, February 2001, North Somerset
Ellen Agnes Hodgkinson
d-o-b 14 April 1906

An Emmanuel Hodgkinson, b 4 January 1900, died Sedgemoor, Somerset, in 1977. Looks like he was born in Doncaster.

I would guess from that marriage in Portsmouth, that if Beatrice did go off with Sydney she left her two children with their grandparents.

According to the 1939 register.  Beatrice Maud Davis (Field) was born on in June 1888.  You guys are great.

Were should I go from here.  Any ideas?
