You may be right Wisechild....it was so long ago I can't remember! Add to that it was done in a rush because up to two weeks before the wedding we were going to honeymoon on a Scottish isle....what made me change I do not know but I had a white wedding - the coldest day in Glasgow on record according to Multi-coloured Swap Shop...and had we not changed we would never have made it to Scotland let alone an isle :-) |

As I remember a passport issued in advance of a marriage was sent to the person officiating in the marriage & only handed to the couple after the ceremony. |

Many thanks, everyone for your help. However I was perhaps not clear.I was referring to my maternal grandfather, Roland Turk who married my grandmother, Mary Sutton, in 1914. Fact. They had two children, my mother, Pauline and Graham who died aged 3. Roland 'disappeared' from the family and pitched up with Elizabeth Eagleson (b Hexham/Prudhoe 1898) about whom I know quite a lot. She actually married a Watson in 1918 IIRC, so when she and my Grandfather got together in about 1923/4 they were both already married. They had a daughter with whom I am in contact and she, in turn, married an Australian in 1946 and they both went there to live. Fact. Her father and mother took out the joint passport when they too emigrated to Australia at the same time. I have this passport. So the mystery is how they obtained it without an apparent m. certificate which the pssport office assures me was essential. Thanks to the posters who sugested Scotland or Ireland. I will check these again. I appreciate mainland Europe would be more difficult. |

Patchem - does there need to be a guilty party in a divorce? I guess there can be but often there isn't.....the death obviously suggests Bertha did not remarry. |

I understand commercial aviation was becoming more affordable and accessible from the mid 1940s so it's possible they flew somewhere so wouldn't show on outgoing shipping lists. |

I think Martin has Herbert Waldron, 1891, Deal Kent in his tree. (And subsequent births/marriages in Portsmouth. Possibly Herbert G) |

Martin - for marriage purposes, "abroad" would include N Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Where was he stationed in WW2? |
