Wife of Leonard Mapstone - Gladys A M White

[Cai Thomas]

I can't find any reference to a Gladys A M White who married Leonard Mapstone in Axbridge in 1931 except the marriage certificate.

The Mapstones have been in Meare for centuries, but Gladys white.....

I am guessing she died in the war or before as Leonard remarried to a lady of the surname Baldwin after the war, but i cannot find a death certificate or divorce certificate for Gladys

Do you actually have the marriage certificate?

Reason I ask is, I'm wondering if she'd been married before and White was her first married name.

Thank you!

But wouldn't we expect to see a divorce paper? or not really at this time?

I have had such luck with some of these family tree lines (some are very well documented back to the 1200s! But a couple of them are proving a pain (I guess that is the fun).
