I am so sad lol
Got Great Grandad's death certificate some time ago and the address given was the next street to where all the rest of the were living. As I know the streets I asked my 89 year Uncle if he knew why that was and he said 'that's where the woman he was 'carrying on with' lived'.
Today just doing a bit more searching and looked on 1911 at that particular address and the wife in the family was called Heloise, very unusual, found her husband had died but couldn't find her death.....so....drum roll......looked up a second marriage for Heloise Carr and she married.....Great Grandad George Blewitt one year before he died in 1923. He was 71. She died in 1960 as Heloise Blewitt.
I have just phoned Uncle and he's flabbergasted, Great Grandma had died two years before so there was no problem with the marriage, but it seems no one knew about it. My Mum talked a lot about family history and never mentioned it and nor did my Gran.
Don't know why am so excited, but I am.
Also Uncle was saying that he was talking to his sister today and saying how sad it was that we've no photos of his Dad (my Grandad) and Auntie say's 'Oh I've got some, and one of Mum and Dad, he's in his Army uniform.
The times I've asked if any of them have photos. Motto is NEVER GIVE UP
