A Lilly Payne married John Daniel Adey in 1892 in Brighton then she seems to dissappear and in 1899 John Daniel Adey marries again. Can anyone tell me what happened to Lilly Payne?

Thanks
John Adey

This is a long shot but a Lilly Adey got married in Chorlton in Lancashire in march 1893. could this be your missing person.

This is a long shot but a Lilly Adey got married in Chorlton in Lancashire in march 1893. could this be your missing person.Nice try, Richard -- and, as you comment, a long shot. Unfortunately, I think the Lilly you found is probably the same Lilly/Lily ADEY who shows up in both the 1881 and 1891 censuses as a dressmaker, born about 1869 in Manchester, the daughter of John Joseph ADEY, a draper and his wife Maria. [References: RG11/3918 Folio 100 Page 2 and RG12/3171 Folio 38 Page 22]

I had looked for Lilly, too, in various records but came up pretty much blank...

There is a marriage record for a Florence Lilian ADEY in the March quarter of 1900 in Brighton [reference: Volume 2b Page 368]. Comparing this to the 1901 census, the matching groom appears to be William Percy KEMPSTER [reference: RG13/941 Folio 77 Page 25]. But this Florence Lilian ADEY is probably the Florence L. ADEY listed in the 1881 census as born in 1880, the daughter of John D. ADEY, a commercial traveller and his wife Lucy [reference: RG11/1086 Folio 15 Page 23]. So no go.

My guess is that John's Lilly ADEY died somewhere between 1892 and 1899 but the record isn't yet listed on the BMD. |shakehead

Thank you both. I am fairly certain that the marriage in Lancashire is a different branch of the family and not the same Lilly Adey. There have been records of Adeys in Lancashire for many years.

Florence Lilian Adey is indeed not the same person (as a child I knew her briefly) and she was the daughter of John Daniel Adey who married Lilly Payne in 1892. This is going around in circles but your attempts at helping are appreciated.

Either John Daniel Adey was a bigamist or Lilly Adey (formerly Lilly Payne) died and we've been unable to trace her death.

Regards & thanks
John Adey

Hane you tried asking on Rootschat. You could go to the Sussex site, and somebody on there might be able to help. I must admitits a bit of a mystery to where she has gone. Good luck
