There are several articles in 1947 regarding a financial dispute between George Richard and Gladys (even involving her mother!) after the marriage broke up (on the grounds of mutual cruelty!!) .....

I have been unable to find anything on Thush (or possibly Thurl) Elizabeth Usmar, born 1908 after the outgoing passage from London.

Can`t believe you all found so much information on the family,thankyou so much .This is more than I hoped for and can fill in loads of facts .The certificates B M D`Setc are just what I need . I am beginning to get an idea of the family movements now, and members I didn`t know about .

Really appreciate the time you all spent on this,I know how time consuming it is searching records. Now I need to get down and record everything !
