found this birth but can't find a marriage for McDonald and rasen Farnham does cover sussex area


Births Sep 1918 (>99%)

McDonald Elmer Rasen Farnham 2a 246

I am going to have to get death cert for for the Bristol one only reason I have not is out of area, yes maybe married again but no Divoice record and wives were not able to Divoice husbands, also perhaps get cert for James Hancock an Ada Sturts marriage to see what great grandfather put as single, Divorced or widowed

If she might have remarried, you might be able to find a death record for her if you know her exact date of birth.

that death record that dea posted could be caroline's could she have married again

Unable to find death record or Divoice record tried immigration to Canada no record I can find. Caroline was my great granmother

The marriage to Caroline 'was' mentioned on the army record but the birth of the son in 1923 was to his second wife mmn Sturt.

This is the only half possible death I can find for a Caroline who is the right age but it is AFTER his marriage to Ada ?????
