Hi,
William Platts was born in Leicester in 1852.
He married Emma Jakins in Leicester in 1880
They had 3 children:
Thomas William Platts - 1881 - ?
Florence Ada Platts - 1882 - 1956
Emma Platts - 1886 - 1886
In 1891, Florence is living in Leicester with her mother's parents Thomas & Elizabeth Jakins (listed as Flossy) & Thomas (known as William) is down as visitor in London with his mother's new family who is now Emma Curry!
Emma Curry is "married" to William Curry with a son John Curry who was born in Leicester in 1889.
I can not find either a death cert for William Platts or a marriage between Emma Jakins/Platts and William Curry. I have John Curry's birth cert from 1889 and it states MMN as Jakins (no mention of Platts)
On the 1911 census it says they've been married for 23 years and she's had 4 children - 3 have died (I know this is a lie because of above children's dates and when Emma died in 1918 her daughter Florence was the informant in Leicester!)
Has anybody got any ideas of what happened to William Platts? Because of the above dates there is a gap of about 3years between 1886-1889 when he went missing.
Thank you for any help/advice given.
