Did think this could be him but Augusta died later than 1938 whrn he married Marian unless divorced

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 9 Apr 2013 00:09

Think some certs are going to be needed if that is the right family in 1911 and her death which is after that possible marriage in 1938

Henry John/ James is a widower in 1901. Can't find his first wife who possibly died after giving birth to Henry E in 1890.

EDIT No he was down as being married in 1891.
