Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 81 Send Message	Emily Perry appears on the 1911 census living with husband James and four children at 23 Victoria Rd, Acton. He remarried in Dec 1934, to Ada Mary Williams, I cannot find a divorce from Emily, nor her death. I would be very grateful for some help please.

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 81 Send Message	I think I have found her birth 1866 (Headingley) which is Oxford. The census 1911 shows birth in Oxford. She is listed as Emily A Adams.
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,062 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	26 Sep 2015 23:36
	Do you know her maiden name?? Was it Adams for certain?? It is of course not unknown for marriages to break up, spouses to move away, and for one spouse to re-marry bigamously.

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 81 Send Message	Yes, without a certificate to prove I think the marriage is the one Dec 1896. Harold and Gladys are the same age (twins?). I am beginning to think there may have been a bigamous marriage to Ada (my grandmother). I have not looked for a death beyond the second marriage ! Maybe James was put under pressure to do the decent thing! There is talk in the family of the first wife (Emily) being catholic, so no divorce.

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 81 Send Message	Gins, your doing so well, thank you so much. My father, son of James Perry and Ada Williams was born in 1924! It sounds as if James was not being completely honest with these ladies! Where did you find the latest info?

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 81 Send Message	Thank you everyone who has helped me, i am waiting for a copy of James' will, deceased 1940, probate granted to Ada, I that may throw some light on events. I think we now have the date of death of Emily Perry. Where do I find copies of the ER? Thanks again to all.
