I'm researching a distant branch and am tracing the life of Carlyle Alva Quinn, born 03 Dec 1894 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. He was kind enough to marry another individual with a unique name, Muriel Lucy Montagu(e) Bate. They married 06 Apr 1914 in British Columbia, Canada. He & Muriel are living in Seattle, WA, USA in 1915, and then he joins the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force at Victoria, BC in Dec 1916. He lists Muriel as his wife. Then Carlyle vanishes until his death in 1978 in Los Angeles, CA.
Meanwhile, Muriel marries Henry Clark Davis in 1920, has son Donald J Davis born 22 Jan 1915 (raised eyebrows), and dies in San Francisco, CA in 1957, the widow of an eminent physician.
With the unusual names and consistent dates of birth (if not years), the two are fairly easy to track. But what happened between Muriel & Carlyle? It would appear the war intervened but am I missing something else obvious? I haven't had to search for a divorce before so any suggestions or ideas would be welcome.
