Adoption paper

Alice seems consistent with the address 15 Montpelier Street although likely a lodger i.e. have you come across any connection with Alfred George Barnes and Emma Mathilde Barnes in the wider family, possibly related or could they have been relatives/friends of the illusive Jack?

Who were the witnesses to her marriage in 1921 & what addresses show for all?

On e reader, cannot do live links .... but...

Https etc .... British history dot a.c. dot UK/ survey London/ vol 45/ pp 116-124


.... 
Montpelier Street

.... that part of the former Montpelier Estate comprises Nos. 13-27 on the west side ...

The trio at Nos.  13 - 17 was built by 1831.

...  the houses were transformed in the late 1920s and 1930s

JM  I googled 15 Montpelier Street South Kensington 1919.

A possible candidate although same name has a middle initial but same area?

Marriages Dec 1925   

McArthur    John A    Kensington    1a   478
Everitt    Mary F M    Kensington    1a   478    

I think if this was my research, I'd be very tempted to get that marriage to see his occupation

It would be very interesting to know what address Alice gives on the 1921 marriage?

Her address from at least 30th Jun 1919 when she was admitted to Thavies until at least 22 Sep 1920 when she signed the adoption of Violet was 15 Montpelier Street (Knightsbridge) but...

1919 Alfred (George) & (Emma Mathilde) Barnes are at 15 Montpelier Street yet no sign of either Alice or Jack?

However, Jack unfortunately was not a 'Private' but a Commercial Clerk.

When I downloaded the cert. I enlarged it & although a bit blurry it's obvious the 'Private' is part of the address, Private Australian Headquarters then his occupation in brackets then his address in the order it normally would be.
