well at least twice possible/prob more , and caused the above .. if he has an obit it would be interesting (if the truth was told!)

is there any records of Mary Ann Oakley (divorce?) before her 2nd marriage in 1929 (her brother Willian Henry Oakley was editor/manging Director of the Surrey Advertiser in 1920's so he may had pulled some strings?)
