Lots of marriages broke down during the war and because it was too expensive and difficult to get divorced in those days couples often just separated and went on to live with someone else as man and wife either not bothering to get married or to marry bigamously.

yes this is his death and I can see he married edna clarke in 1944 and they stayed married. could you in any way find out if he had children, either with emmeline or edna? also when did he and emmeline divorce?

his death notice states he was john stanlake but known as stan beloved husband of edna, but no children? particularly interested to see if he had children with emmeline his first wife

thank you kath, but still digging, you have been helpful x
