Thank you for your ideas.
I think I read somewhere that divorce records are destroyed after 20 years and my search of the newspapers has, so far, turned up nothing.  I will keep on searching.

I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions. Thanks you

Hello again,

I believe Ian was born in 1947 but died at age 21 years as a result of an attack in a bookmakers, I believe. Nigel died in 2012.

Hello, Thank you for your reply.

I only think that he might have been in prison because he was " removed from the family home by the police" according to my late father.  Not sure when the divorce was but as suggested was between 47 and 49 as Marjorie remarried Bertie Morgan in 1949.  All of thhis took place in Ely and Cardiff South Wales.
According to my cousin he turned up again in North Wales some 10 years later claiming to be an orphan with no family.  If possible I would just like to fill in the period of his life between the divorce and his remarrying.  I don't know how to search for a divorce or if he did prison time.

Only Philip remains alive. Both Leonard and Marjorie died coincidently in 1966.

Thank you for yoour help and suggestions. Paul Budge

Hello,
I am looking for any ppossible info about Leonard G thomas who married my aunt Marjori Budge in Cardiff in 1939.  He was in the RAF and posted to Wick in Scotland. They had three boys Nigel, Philip and Iain.  He was removed from the family home in Ely, Cardiff as a drunk and disappeared (possibly in prison). He was divorced from my Aunt but then turned up in North Wales in the 1950s when he remarried. He died in 1966.
Any help or suggestions gratefully received especially if anyone can sugget how I might find a possible conviction record (no luck anywhere so far.)
Thank you.

Hello, I have attached a photocopy of the marriage certificate,

She has signed herself Florence Emma Hamilton vanderkroff.

Yes I noticed Flora and my father "knew" of her as Aunt Florrie.  She is definately the correct person as her parents are 100% and she is shown as "widowed".

Thank you.

Florence Emma Budge was the sister of my great grandfather.

She was that name at birth and until I found the Hamilton Vanderkroff details in the Machir marriage certificate I had no idea that she had been married before.  She appears at regular intervals in the censuses and newspapers as F E Budge or similar. There are no marriages in the GRO records of a Budge to a Hamilton or a Vanderkroff.
My best guess now is that she was a nurse in the Boar War. Met and married someone who died sometime later.
I really appreciate your interst and input. Best wishes and thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the reply. Yes, but that is my thread aswell  :) :)

What I am really trying to determine is who was Hamilton Vanderkroff.  He married my relative at some time but where and when is a mystery.

I only found out today that she had been married and widowed to him when I downloaded her second marriage certificate to Peter Machir.  She has signed her name Florence Emma Hamilton Vanderkroff, quite legibly.  All through her married life she used her maiden name - Florence Emma Budge. I have found her everywhere except the 1901 census which makes me think that she went to the Boer War as a nurse, met and married Hamilton Vanderkroff and he was then killed.  That is only a theory- no evidence, which is what I am seeking.

So yes, from her signature it is definately Vanderkroff.

I can't seem to see the second reference to the Boer War. Could you enlarge please?
Thank you for your help.  I have been struggling with her for 10 years to find her death, which I now have but now a second mystery about Vanderkroff.

Thanks.

Hello,

I need help please.

I have just discovered that an ancestor, Florence Emma Budge, ( her birth name) had in fact been married previously and at her second marriage to Peter Garvan Machir in 1924, in Scotland,  used her actual name of Florence Emma Hamilton Vanderkroff.  She was widowed and elsewhere used her birth name.


I have searched everywhere and I can find nothing. 

The only bit of anecdotal evidence is that my father was told by his mother that she had married "Count Van der ?????" and been in Russia at sometime.

Any help please?  PLEASE
