Thankyou all so much for the info. I searched and found a lot of what you have found like 1911 census for George and Matilda plus children. |

The Mercers have been mistranscribed as Meteer on GR, as far as 1891 is concerned. |

How on earth can I find info about a divorce whilst the searches say marriage and divorce not all divorces are showing up including mine !! |

Assuming you mean England/Wales, the files of less than 0.2% of divorces after 1937 survive. |

It might depend on who the informant was for the birth certs, and whether or not they knew, or remembered in the heat of the moment, that Matilda had been born Howard. |
