Hope someone could help with this request?
I have Leslie David Jones, birth registered in Brentford, England on 20 Sep 1922, married to Mrs Elsie S Jones. I have found him in various passenger records, with his wife (earliest I've found is 1957) plus their landing card info from a flight to the USA in 1961, where they appeared to have settled in Washington. I also have his second marriage 26 April 1974, application for naturalisation later in 1974, and his death in Washington, USA on 4 Jan 1987.
I have found Mrs Elsie Jones death in Washington too, 28 July 1973.
From these records I know she was born on 24 Dec 1924 in Calcutta, India. The landing card is the one of two records with her name of Solon on it, plus some initials that look like G. O. I've attached that card. The other record shows Elsie Solan Jones from the Find a Grave index.
I have Leslie David Jones birth, parents, sister etc, but it is his wife's birth and their marriage that I can't find. I'm thinking they married abroad, not necessarily in India, as he seems to have travelled/worked abroad extensively.
I can't find them in the 1939 UK register, but his grandmother (Ellen Capps) is living at the address given in various passenger records ie 4 Mount Pleasant Road, Romford, Essex.
On passenger records (UK from Cape Town, UK from Hong Kong) they state intention to stay in the UK for less than 12 months.
It would be interesting to find out her maiden name and her marriage date/place if at all possible.
Any suggestions please of where to look?
Thanks.
