My research of genealogical sites shows a Gertrude Marie/Maria Jones m. Ernest Lovell Foakes 1914 (with electoral records for London 1920s). I see nothing for Gertrude M. Foxe marrying a Foakes.

Ernest Lovell Lindsay Foakes (1871-1931) solicitor.

See mention of Gertrude M. Foakes, journalist, born 7 Jan 1879, living in Chichester, widowed.

Death of Gertrude Foakes in 1945 in Surrey, no other information and no evident will.

Gertrude Marie Jones, daughter of Robert and Catherine Jones, in Islington. Robert was lace manufacturer, in business with brother, William Albert Jones. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:56, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Census edit

  • 1881, 1891, 1901 censuses show living with parents, no occupation
  • 1911 census living with uncle, no occupation

Foxe edit

Can see mention of works as early as 1906

  • Reviews. — Grantham journal (Grantham, England), Saturday, November 03, 1906; pg. — for contributions to Pall Mall magazine

there is a change over period in c.1915 where they are co-labelled with both names. One may suspect a a level of association prior to marriage, and possibly support for publishing. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:43, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
