Perhaps there was a Weston-super-Mare–Cardiff/Penarth ferry?

Having just had a quick look, Campbell's Steamer may have travelled between Weston-super-Mare and Penarth, according to a page Bath Newseum. In 1942 American troops landed in Penarth so attracting the locals and no doubt personnel and folk from across the channel.

Plenty to consider and investigate 😁

Thank you 😊 I will definitely investigate that option as it does make sense. Surely there had to be a ferry to Wales.

Banwell is next to RAF Locking and RAF Weston-super-Mare:

Now that makes sense. Even though Hereford was mentioned I guess the bride could have moved from there to Weston-super-Mare. Definitely an avenue for me to head down.

Thank you 😊

World War Two / ACWI WAAF Hereford
« on: Saturday 23 March 24 12:23 GMT (UK)  »
Good afternoon

I am seeking help with information regarding WAAF service in Hereford c 1944.

I have a marriage certificate giving the bride's rank or profession as A. C. W. I. WAAF and residence at time of marriage as, what appears to read as, Banwell.

The marriage took place in East Glamorgan and the groom, a dockyard worker, lived in Penarth.

I haven't been able to find what A. C. W. I. stands for and I am also trying to find a Royal Air Force training camp in Hereford that would be close enough to East Glamorgan for the bride and groom to have met. Neither have I found Banwell.

Thank you.

Under the earlier law (the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 and the Judicature Act 1925) once the decree nisi had been issued the petitioner (ie the successful party) could apply for the decree absolute after 6 weeks, but the unsuccessful party could not apply for the decree to be made absolute, meaning that they could not remarry if the successful party opposed this. Section 9 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1937 changed this situation and allowed the unsuccessful party to apply for the decree to be made absolute three months after the moment when application by the successful party was first possible, or in other words, four and a half months after the decree nisi was given by the court.

Thank you 😁

Thanks. I found the news report of the decree nisi but wondered how long it took to go through.
