Wow thank you so much alviegall and ArgyllGran.

Thanks to having her married name and year of death you found, googling her name and going through the Maritz deaths the same date if birth is given for Clarice.

I really appreciate everyone's help, thank you.

From your earlier posts, Alviegal, it looks as if the first wife, Doreen Clarice (or Clarice Doreen) died in 1957, then Adrian married Clarice (what a coincidence) Bettison Martin, then he died 1971.

Ah well done AG. I wonder if Clarice was Adrian's mother.

EDIT Just read your comment above. That is most probably correct as Adrian and Doreen had a son born 1926.

Info here about Adrian, Doreen and children:

So Clarice Martin must have been Adrian's second wife.

From that link, found on a Google search for her name, Clarice seems to have died in 2002, although no exact date is given.

I can't find any other arrivals / departures for her.

It may be that she stayed in South Africa.

Thank you, I've now found it. I didn't check those records as I thought I needed the Worldwide subscription.

I can't see another passenger list for her.

Chrissie2394 Report 3 May 2018 19:40

Thank you ErikaH, appreciate that.

The address was the house that her sister and my gt grandfather owned.

I'm guessing I'd need a worldwide subscription to get that info.

I have. I've also checked FMP and Ancestry. I must be missing something or she emigrated.

I've just checked the original image of the 1939 and it says see page 14 but not sure how to find it. I looked at image 14 but couldn't see anything.

Could someone please find a possible marriage and a death for Clarice Bettison Martin. According to the 1939 Register she was born 5th February 1913. Address given was City Hospital, Edwards Lane, Nottingham. She was a nurse there. There is no married name added to the register.

She was the sister of my gt grandfather's second wife Miriam. When Miriam died in 1968 it is believed Miriam left her house to Clarice so any death should be after 1968.

Thanks for reading.
