I am getting a little lost tracking my relative Alice Kate Smith. She is born in Dunedin, New Zealand on 17 December 1885, daughter of Robert Fergus Smith and Alice Maria Poole. Sometime around 1886 the family must have moved to London, as her later siblings are born there.
In 1907 she marries Kenneth Chester Herron, having 3 children (Kenneth Vernon Chester 1908, Eleanor Christina 1909 and Margaret Alice Leslie 1913), but sadly her husband is killed in action in 1918, while flying as an observer in the RAF. After this the trail gets harder to follow.
In 1924 she marries Reginald Hewlett Hayes in Kensington, but by 1927 she has remarried to Francis J Hill in Gloucester. There must be a divorce in the middle of these 2 marriages, as Reginald Hayes (who seems to be quite a big name in London medicine) died in 1951. Beyond the marriage record, I can find no trace that Alice ever lived with Reginald Hayes. Alice remains Alice Hill up to her death in Portugal on 21 May 1964. However at least one ancestry family tree says she has a daughter Jennifer with Francis Hill, I will guess before 1930, as Jennifer is marrying Geoffrey Robinson by 1948.
My questions are
1. What happened to Alice's 2nd marriage to Reginald Hewlett Hayes? Is there any way to find divorce records?
2. Who is Francis J Hill? Alice is certainly not marrying down, as her address in 1933 when her daughter Eleanor marries is 27 Phillimore Gardens in Kensington, and the Google street view reveals a place that I would certainly like to live in...
