William Geoffrey Mobley (known as Geoffrey)

[James18]

Never thought to check consular births - thank you, Jon!

I think I've found the girl.

Going by the names I was given, I am pretty sure the son was the Russell Leonard Mobley who died in December 2015 in Hornchurch. The DOB is actually 3 years out from the one on the consular register, but I can't find any other likely candidates and the L being Leonard would fit his grandfather. If anyone can dispute this then by all means let me know.

There are two girls (both Burma) on the consular register who are likely Russell's sisters; one fits a name I was given, the other isn't (as I was only given two names, Russell + one girl) but being Mobley, Rangoon and the same timeframe then surely it has to be the same family.

[James18]

OK, it's definitely the right Russell. I've since found him on what appears to be a family tree for his second wife (still alive as far as I know).

Hi
I did wonder about him. There aren't many Mobleys in those indexes.
It's a bit strange that no marriage has come up for William Geoffrey. And we are still in the dark as to what happened to the lady.

Yes, I don't know anything besides he married in Burma - presumably to a Burmese woman. I did contact the woman whose Ancestry tree it is (Russell's second wife) but I don't know if she'll respond. If so, she may be able to put me in touch with someone from the family.

There is a Sep 39 birth for a William G Mobley in Luton (and a previous Mar 1908 marriage in Luton) - as far as I know these aren't related to our William G Mobley. My guess was that one/both of the 62/75 marriages are for this other man, but of course it's possible I'm wrong.
