I am trying to research the cousins of Alexander Obolensky (Александр Сергеевич Оболенский) who might have adopted English names and chose to reside in England following 1917.
According to my wife's family legend, her grandmother's cousin was Alexander Obolensky. I have been researching the Obolensky family tree and there is a possibility that she might have been a child from the relationship between Vladimir Esaulov and Nina Obolenskaya. Has anyone researched the cousins of Alexander Obolensky?
In order to assimilate into English society my wife's grandmother was given the name Myrtle Squire. On her marriage certificate she listed her father as John Martindale Squire who was a retired member of the Indian Police. It seems that she might have been born in Russia in 1916. The family does have an extensive collection of photographs.
Any help much appreciated. Many thanks Asher
