Ahhhh now Ada Maria Goad was an exceptional woman, divorced her first husband for incest with her sister, so destroying his career in the British Indian army, and her second for beating her up, even though he was a barrister! But in those days they were the only two reasons a woman could bring a divorce action, husbands being unfaithful was not a reason, although a wife being unfaithful was grounds for a divorce. A very wealthy woman from a very extraordinary family, her brother was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s stories about a detective. All I know about your chap was that he was an importer of leather. Thank you for the info that he married again I hadn’t followed her third marriage

Quite a rackety lot at times these Victorians it would seem... 

So we have Ada Goad who divorced her first husband, Edward J. Webber, for alleged adultery with her own sister, and her second husband, William H. Brewer, for cruelty, before marrying for the third time (bigamously in his case it appears) to Alberto Bonorino Frias.

What's more 2nd husband, William Hibberd Brewer, himself married 3 times. His first wife died before his marriage to Ada.  His third wife Annie Katherine Hughes Preston (my family connection) married him in 1879 following his divorce from Ada.  They had 4 children but then he seems to have deserted her and lived as husband and wife with one Annie Pickett with whom he had a further 3 daughters. In the 1911 census, he describes their "marriage" as lasting 24 years, suggesting that he abandoned Annie K. H. Preston about 1887 when she would have been pregnant with their 4th child.

There must have been an element of social disgrace incurred by all this behaviour which perhaps explains why William H. Brewer seems to have gradually ceased being able to practice as a barrister and eventually became a factory inspector.

Hi Jon541,
Thanks for this update.
Can you explain why the Brewer daughters surname changed from Brewer to Pickard?
Kind Regards

Hi Paul,

In the eyes of the law, they couldn't be Brewer because WHB was still married to my ancestor Annie Katherine Hughes Preston who lived until 1929.  So they were all registered as Pickett or Pickart.  In the 1891 census, WHB calls himself "William Pickard" but his place and date of birth are correct, i.e. Salisbury circa 1841.  In 1901, he has reverted to William Brewer. His age is still correct but he now gives his place of birth as "Romney, Hants".  I'm not sure why he should do this unless he was trying to blow smoke because his legitimate family were living a short distance away at Barton-upon-Irwell.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for confirming what happened. From the details of the divorces cases numerous others were involved and some of them were also using assumed names.
Annie Pickett I found mentioned born 1859, he lived with whilst still married to Annie Katherine Hughes Preston do you have any knowledge of her?
I was also trying to determine how many children there were?

Kind Regards
