AMERICAN MYSTERY...can any one help solve this mystery? Felix Hutchinson (an American G.I.) married Joan Docker in Coventry ,England .Trouble is i don't know in what year or where in the U.S. Felix came from.Joan went back with her husband to U.S. ,but things didn't work out.They divorced,but i think she was back in England by then.There was also a daughter..maybe named Tromey Lee Hutchinson--although i have never come across this name before.I have these dates for a Felix B. Hutchinson,but i don't know if he is the correct one as i can't connect him to a Joan Docker--7 july 1922-january 1972.I know it's a big ask,but any help would be very much appreciated ! Thanks!!

Hi Roy I will look on the US military records WW2, and Ancestry see if I can narrow it down a bit.
