Woodelf,

I have found the marriage of Edward to Gwen.....but Edward is given as Edward Philip, not Edward Pigeon.  Father is correct though. Do you have/want the marriage?

An Edward Philip McGrath's death was in the Advertiser newspaper in 1999.

No marriage for Ronald McGrath and Linda Jean to 1942 in Victoria......

SA marriages only go to 1937....

Oh, bummer! They definitely married though, but not in NSW. Mmm.. unless he had a different middle name too? They married before 1940 because he enlisted in the Navy and his wife is Linda Jean. I'm only making this more difficult for you, aren't I?

The only SA marriage between 1917 and 1937 with father given as August Bede MCGRATH  is that of Edward.

There were no marriages for a "Linda Jean" to a McGrath in the Vic index......

Maybe he married between 1937 and 1940 in SA.....

OK... I know my g-grandmother Eileen Margaret McGrath m Kenneth Archie Donald McKinnon 26 Jul 1930 in  Saints Church, Eastry St Norwood, South Australia. I just assumed that seeing as she married in SA, the rest would too perhaps. They probably did but as you said not in the that specific timeframe. Would you by any chance know if Old Modbury Cemetery exists anymore (because I can't find it)?

Hi Elfie,
A quick look at the world war 2 nominal roll site shows a funny little anomily on Ronald James' record summary.

Next of kin is simply stated as Linda.

Now usually next of kin is given a surname, whether it is the same as the enlistee's or not.

For instance you can see that Edward's next of kin is.... McGrath, G.. being for Gwen.

Here we just have the name Linda.

Have you seen any  further details of this record or is it just what people said?

I saw the record a while ago on the National Archives and now it's not working Cry. But this is what I saw; yes I saw that it said just Linda. It struck me as odd but I didn't follow it up.  Elfie Sad

Well,
There are ways to follow it up, but for now, I wonder if you should consider that the marriage may not have taken place at all.

She does not appear to be, Linda McGrath on the enlistment documents which were taken by 'dictation'  from the  candidate at the depots..

If she were Mrs Linda McGrath in 1939 when he enlisted  I think her full name would have shown.

In my experience with these records too, when a marriage takes place during service, the summary, [which is what I am viewing] is altered to show revised next of kin.  He was discharged in 1951 with the details as shown on the summary.  NOK 'Linda'

He had a long navy career. Smiley
