Gladys FLOWERDAY
Set As Default Person -
Name Gladys FLOWERDAY Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 6 Jul 1913 West Ham Reg Dist, Essex, England
- Date from death registration index and from 1939 register
GRO ref: Flowerday, Gladys q3 1913 mother's maiden name: Bidewell, W. Ham RD 4a 508
Gender Female Residence 1939 104, Caldbeck Avenue, Sutton and Cheam M.B., Surrey, England
Registration - Glady was not with her husband but with Annie and Thomas Barnard in Surrey. Like Gladys, Annie was a Flowerday when she married and was almost certainly Gladys' sister.
It seems safe to assume the closed entry after Gladys (closed, 30 Jan 2017) was her daughter.
I don't believe Gladys and Douglas had separate as she had returned to the East side of London by the time her next child was born in 1944. Maybe wartime fears or practicalities led to her being with her sister and her sister's family in 1939.

The 1911 census shows that Leonard and Annie had had 3 children, all of whom were still living although only two were with them on census night. I think the third was Annie, who was a visitor in the home of John and Susanna Curtis that night. Gladys was with Annie and her husband at the time of the 1939 registration.
