Hi Andrea,
I see that you have been trying to find out information about Rosetta Paterson's husband Reginald Arthur Brock. We have been trying to do the reverse in that we know lots about Reginald, but little about Rosetta...

Reginald was my grandfather. It would seem that he was quite a roaming chap as he married my grandmother in 1924 (I see that this marriage was noted in another thread of yours) produced my mother before disappearing back into his merchant navy world. My mother never knew him.

Some years ago during some resaerch into his past we came upon a second marriage, or rather, a second set of offspring (he didnt marry the second woman until after their 3rd daughter had been born in 1944). The discovery of this second family brought much joy to my mother who was an only child as she and her 3 half-sisters have been in contact ever since and we have had several reunions.

They also remember little of their father as he returned to the sea.

So, his third marriage to Rosetta in NZ in, I think, 1955 was the last in quite a complicated life....

Anthony

Yes the O'Neill's ended up in Blaydon. I don't have any of the names you mention in my tree, yet at least. My Catherine O'Neill married a Devlin, then they moved to Tynemouth. I have not found any families for any of her brothers past the 1st generation.
Thanks for your interest
