One of my relations, Emma Ellen Southorn, married a Cyril Richards who died in 1941. She then married a Whitting and lived in Streatham, Balham, London.
I have not been able to find out about this marriage except that she was widowed again about 1964. If anyone can help me re her second husband, Whitting, I will be most thankful.
