So no Peter Scully, so who is he ?
I would guess a nephew but to be sure you need to view that record.

Could be her in 1911

First names KATHLEEN
Birth Year 1893
Birth Year +/- 1 years
Birth Place LONDON
Relationship To Head WIFE
County London
Residence ST. PANCRAS

HOUSEHOLD STONE KATHLEEN MARY F 1893 18 St Pancras London

which would mean she married Robert C. Stone

Living in same household
HOUSEHOLD STONE KATHLEEN EMMA F 1911 8 WEEKS St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD STONE ROBERT CHARLES M 1890 21 St Pancras London


Other possible children for Kathleen:-

Births Sep 1914 (>99%)
STONE Robert C (Scully) Pancras 1b 253

Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Stone Albert J (Scully) Pancras 1b 245

Births Jun 1923 (>99%)
Stone Leonard A (Scully) Pancras 1b 233

She would have been very young, but this could be why she is not on 1911 census:-

Marriages Dec 1910 (>99%)
Camin Antonio Pancras 1b 199
Marzorati Maria Pancras 1b 199
<<<<Scully Kathleen M Pancras 1b 199
Stone Robert C Pancras 1b 199

This is possibly William (who is 10yrs old in 1901 census)

1911
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY WILLIAM HENRY M 1891 20 St Pancras London

Living in same household
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY ELIZABETH F 1867 44 St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY PETER PARTRICK M 1883 28 St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY THOMAS VINCENT M 1890 21 St Pancras London

There is a Peter Scully, but no sign of Kathleen?

I think you should take a look at both these 1911 records to see exactly what the relationships are.

So Elizabeth is still alive and not remarried at this stage. By taking a look at the original record it could state if she was divorced or not?

This looks like Kathleen's birth:-

Name: Kathleen Scully
Year of Registration: 1893
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Pancras (1837-1901)
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1b

Fredk Scully 1

There is this birth in St. Pancras:-

Births Mar 1911 (>99%)
Scully Edward J Pancras 1b 51

so another possible child but you would have to buy the cert. to be sure.

You could firstly try 1911 census to see what it says:-

First names THOMAS HENRY
Last names SCULLY
Birth Year 1862
Birth Year +/- 1 years
Birth Place SUNDERLAND

HOUSEHOLD SCULLY THOMAS HENRY M 1862 49 St Pancras London

Living in same household
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY ALBERT ERNEST M 1902 9 St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY ARTHUR EDWARD M 1898 13 St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY ELIZABETH F 1867 44 St Pancras London
HOUSEHOLD SCULLY FREDRICK REGINALD M 1900 11 St Pancras London

My GGF Thomas Scully 1862 was married to Elizabeth Lloyd (I think in June 1888) My mother told me there were 6 children, but I only knew Arthur (1897 my GF) and Albert (c1902). Mum also said the family split up and Thomas took on the youngest three children (Fredrick - c1900, being the third).
Elizabeth had the older three, which my research leaves me to believe are Thomas or Thos c1889, William c1891 and Kathleen c1893.
I am interested to trace Elizabeth and my GF's sibling down to present day. However, either she hid her tracks carefully or its a very common name because I get very conflicting results when I search the various official records.
Here are some of my notes from my research:
1871 Census shows Elizabeth and whole family's place of birth as Mile End, St Pancras, London. I suspect this is an error because
1901 Census looks like born in Essex, Sheerness and that crossed out and then very faintly Kent. Unless this is the wrong Elizabeth.
Philip says: spelt sculey in 1881 census Births Dec 1862 SCULLY Thomas Henry Sunderland 10a 405 Marriages Jun 1888 LLOYD Elizabeth Marylebone 1a 1109 / SCULLY Thomas Henry
An Elizabeth J Lloyd was born in Sheppy (according to the FreeBDM transcription) which is the area that Sheerness is in Jan/Mar 1866 1c 484. However viewing the original it says Stepney not Sheppy.
An Elizabeth L Scully died in 1915 in Barnet 3a 429, can't see any other deaths of the right sort of age, but she may have remarried and so death would have a different surname.

Any help would be much appreciated.
