Hi

May be a very long shot but, there is a WW1 file for a Frederick James Oakman aka George Davis, born England, discharged in England.

Hi everyone - not sure if I should start a new thread or not?
The marriage certificates arrived for the 2 marriages of Jessie May Chamberlain and they have her as a spinster for both marriages.  The first marriage was to George Henry Davis in 1907 who was born in 1878 in Shoalhaven, NSW (father George Henry and mother Mary Carmody)  The witness's at the wedding were her nephew and her brother.  They were both living at Harley Hill (Berry)
So then I have looked for a death for George Davis - and potentially there is one in Sydney but in 1907.  This is the one that makes the most sense, the only reason I can think that she remarried as a spinster and her maiden name in 1919 was because she was married for such a short time that it was like she was never married.......
But then I have found a George Davis in the ww1 records who was born in 1878 Shoalhaven (going by his age) and he is married to a Minnie Davis (NOK)  when I look at the nsw BMD there is only one George Davis born around about this time in Shoalhaven - so is this the George that married my Jessie and then why is he now married to Minnie and why is Jessie a Chamberlain and a Spinster when she got married in 1919?????

There is a couple of options but the one that I think it is is in 1907 as well.  They had quite a few children including a boy named Roy.

- the George Henry Davis that married Minnie Croft in 1907 - died in 1944 - parents were George and Mary Ann.   Still doesn't help me  - I think I need to order the death certificate from 1907 and rule that out first - dose anyone else have any ideas?
