If you check out Marjorie Emma George and her mum Adeline on my public tree (Cranes and Simmonds Family Tree) you'll see I've already done most of this work.
Addie's Mum was Emma Hodge, and she goes back to a family in Faversham UK (where we lived from 1981-2002!). I have also her Muckleston line from her father Samuel.
She married Cuthbert Alvin (twice mis-spelt) Fisher twice - first in Bombay with the wrong family name while she was still technically married to Harold George; secondly with her correct name once the Decree Absolute had gone through. But she seems to have abandoned Cuthbert pretty early, possibly because of her concurrent long affair with Garnet Haughton who was named as co-respondent in her divorce from Harold.
By mid-1924 when Dad arrived Addie was running a theatrical boarding house as Addie Leigh or Addie Leigh Fisher - but no sign of the husband.
I have Mrs.Marjorie E Wallace on a ship going to Colombo in October 1933. She seems to have been Simmonds for a mere four months, not the seven I was led to believe. Hopefully Dad's memoir will clarify some of this when I get to the Interesting Bit!
I've trawled through many Marjorie Wallaces and their journeys but discounted them - a) too many b) husbands with them at wrong addresses and in the wrong job. The only appropriate Wallace I've found so far is a Mines Surveyor listed in the UK 1939 register, Archibald Ure Wallace. Married, but maybe playing away like Marjorie. She bewitched men.
Thanks for the Simmonds hints - I'm not sure if that's my family though - unless it's another of Gran's many siblings. I'll check.
Dad worked mainly as a semi-itinerant Jackaroo while he was out there from 1924-1931.
