Hello, I was wondering if you guys could help me... I have lost count of the amount of hours I have been searching for this answer.
My great grandmother Gweneth Edith Groom (also spelt Gwyneth, Gwenneth, Gwenyth) was born in 1912 in Wandsworth, London. She married Alfred Currie Motson (also spelt Matson) in 1936 in Surrey. They had one son together born 1941 (still living). Gweneth and Alfred divorced and both went on to remarry, Alfred married Monica Mary Evelyn Wilkinson in 1953 and then Gweneth married Vincent Smith - or did she?
I cannot for the life of me find a marriage between a Gwenneth, Gwyneth, Gweneth, Gwenyth Groom, Matson or Motson and Vincent Smith (I've even tried searching with the name Edith) Now the surname Smith is like searching for a needle in a haystack but I just don't know where to look next. When Gweneth's mother died, her probate states that she left her effects to her daughter Gweneth Smith, married woman. Gweneth and Vincent (?) Smith had a son together (who is still alive now, born 1949, he has asked me to conduct this research for him, he had a brain injury many years ago and has suffered memory loss as a result, so I am unable to ask him any further questions, he is also estranged from the rest of the family).
The address that Gweneth and Alfred were living at in 1939 is the address that Gweneth and Vincent(?)'s son was born and brought up in.
Gweneth and Vincent divorced when their son was approx 3 years old.
Is anyone able to shed some light on this please... I have a tree on Ancestry (and subscription), I also have a subscription to Find My Past.
**EDIT: Mr Smith's name may not be Vincent, as mentioned, his son has since suffered a brain injury and has only vague recollection of his father and did not see him much after his parents divorce. The surname is Smith, as this is the surname Gweneth and "Vincent's" son has.
Thank you
