Hi,
Hopefully I have replied to all with thanks either on this board or via PM. I'm still searching but at least it's all new information I'm now searching through. Hopefully sooner or later they will re-appear.
Thanks

Hello Vivienne,
I know nothing else about Violet M Richards other than her maiden name was Howell as I said in my initial posting. She may have been born in Cardiff 1907 but I am not too sure.
Andrew George Chamberlain was married to a 'Richards' and so was Violet.

Bye
Paul

Hi Paul.
You still havent given any details for Violet,maybe they went under her name/names if they wanted to lose themselves?

Hello Vivienne,
Just checked out George Andrew Chamberlain you suggested in the Canadian Crossings. His place of birth is given as Ontario, Canada so unfortunately it's not him.
Thanks
Paul

Hello Sablon,
That's the marriage for Andrew. However I'm interested in what happened 15 years later when he left the family home.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul

Sorry realised that I just added that birth as there were no
George Andrew Chamberlain births for that year so the post that Viv and Sandra saw was a good lead.

Good luck in your search!

HeadStone Report 26 Jul 2009 13:34

Hello Cassy,
Thanks for the information. His life until 1937 is known by his family. It's what happened to him from 1937 when he disappeared, that I am seeking help on.
Many thanks
Bye

Hello Sandra & Vivienne,
There's always a possibility of reversing your name and I cannot dismiss it. I'll definitely take a close look at the border crossings and see if it throws up any further information.
Many thanks for your input.
Bye
Paul
