goodness - of all the four reasons to apply for annulment I wasn't expecting that one!

Neither was I - over 18 years after the marriage!

Presumably she was lining up to marry John Gullick so needed a way out, but this is an odd one for a man to agree to! They were married by July 13 1934 (according to a free search on British newspapers for John Gullick in Dover), almost as soon as the absolute was received

Nicholas never tunred up for the hearing so Alice won the case.

I personally think she had a flipping cheek she had already had how many kids with Mr George Harding, but maybe Nicholas is no saint either.

Intersting though at the time of the divorce she was living at 95 St Margaret Road, Coventry.  So not so far away from where she was lving with Nicholas which was 50 St Maragaret Road.

Just waiting on the MC for Gullick and Lacey/White

Thanks

Well.    What a tangled web.   I've been following this thread as it was so interesting.
Do you think you'll be able to tell Uncle George?
