Family History Beginners Board / Re: Alfred James William Pocock.
« on: Saturday 19 August 23 04:30 BST (UK)  »
I have searched for marriages for both Agnes Mary Anderson and Margaret Follet and a divorce from Agnes Anderson and cannot find any records apart from the entries I have read on Ancestry.
I wondered if Agnes and Alfred didn't marry but she took his surname.
 I don't know where else to search.
Any suggestions will be very helpful.

I don't want to purchase any certificates. Just hoping to get as much information as I can without the expense.

Presuming that Alfred Pocock married twice.
I have him on the Electoral Roll in Melbourne with his wife Agnes until 1937.
In 1942 there is an Alfred James Pocock at an address in Glenferrie Rd, Melbourne.
 On a different Electoral Roll for 1942 there is a Margaret Edna Davis Follet at the same address.
From then until 1975 Alfred and Margaret (who is now Pocock) are on the same electoral Roll entries.
There is a marriage for them in 1947.
In 1977 Alfred is at the same address but on his own.
Margaret Pocock died in 1975.
I presume Albert and his first wife Agnes divorced as she died in 1977.
Where could I find out about a divorce?

maddys52. Thankyou again. I would love to now where you find the information.
I have Emma Lucy married on 12 Nov 1912 to Arthur G Langley Knight.
 They has two children, Royston 1915-2009 and Stella 1916-1985.
She died in 1960.
I did not know about the two younger ( Salter) children.
I wondered about Albert coming to Australia some time before his wife and son.

jonw65. Thankyou also for the information about school records.

Thankyou maddy52.
I know the family lived in Melbourne and Alfred J W enlisted in the Army in Melbourne.
 I presume they made their way south from Sydney at some stage.
Can you suggest where I could find Alfred senior on a passenger list for the ship Paparoa?

maddys52. The Arthur in the 1901 Census is most likely Arthur Charles (1890-1965).
Born to Alfred and first wife Alice Everett ( 1861-1897).

maddys52. Yes I have seen the entry for the Mamari.
I don't know when the 1911 England census would have been filled out.
I have been trying to find a full passenger list for the SS Paparoa to see if the father is also there but no luck so far.

Thankyou maddys52.
I already have the information you have kindly found except for a possible marriage to Margaret Edna Davis Follet.
His first wife died in 1977
 Probate states Ferny Creek for Alfred so it's reasonable to think that Margaret could be his second if he had been divorced.
