I have been trying to find this couple on the 1881census on Familysearch but not had any luck.
Could someone with a different one help please?
Evelyn Douglas Blanchard Jerrold born 1850 in Pancras Mdx and wife Florence Lucy born 1850 in Hampstead London.
They married in 1872 in Pancras.
Evelyn died in Islington in 1885 , so they must have been around that area somewhere!
Any help appreciated

The 1881 census is free to search on Ancestry and Find my Past.

According to a tree on ancestry Florence Lucy died in France in 1881, so perhaps they were there.

I've searched the other sites and can't find them.

Thank you all very much for looking.
If Florence died in France,then that's why I have never found her death..I thought it must have been mistranscribed.
Margee,yes,that's them!
Evelyn was a journalist for a paper,so he could have been in France in 1881..
That has given me a lot to go on.Thank you all

Florence's death notice?:

Death Date: 2 juil. 1881 (2 Jul 1881)

So did Evelyn remarry? Who was Eleanor Rosina's mother?

Wow that's great! Thank you very much

I'd be inclined to get a copy of Eleanor's birth certificate:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Eleanor Rosina Jerrold
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1883
Registration district: St George Hanover Square
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1a
Page: 460

Having trouble finding her in any census - was hoping she'd be with her mother (who, of course, may have remarried).

Thank you.
I can't see a remarriage for Evelyn.
Florence was dead,so she definitely couldn't have been Eleanor's mother!
The cert seems to be the only way to go.
I have no idea what happened to the children after both parents died.
They were not with 'my side'...Florence's sister \Kate Yapp or her parents.
Perhaps they were with Eleanor's mother?
I will have to get the cert to find her name.

I'll see if I can find any of the children .....

Evelyn may have married in France (or perhaps he just gave his name to a lovechild).

That's brilliant..Thank you.
I suppose that the others were fending for themselves by then.
I did try to find a remarriage for Evelyn but there definitely is not one, so it seems he was not married to Eleanor's mother.
