This should be a board game!

Thanks Christine. That’s helpful. I’ll have a look.

I’ve found the alternative surname and the marriage but no following marriage to Sydney Tann.

Nothing showing, with connection to Cornwall, in FreeBMD, nor Ancestry for Sydney Tann.  However, there is a death in Cornwall for Thomas Sidney Tann, plus birth and marriage registrations for Thomas S Tann in Cornwall/Devon.

There is a younger man, who appears to be the son of Thomas Sidney Tann, born in 1946.  He died in 2006 registered as Michael Thomas Sidney Tann - although the birth index shows Thomas M S Tann.  He was married in 1968 in St Austell.

Until the 'no-fault' divorce became law on 1 January 1971, only the 'innocent' partner in a marriage could initiate divorce proceedings - or choose not to do so.

Thanks. I’ve been looking for Sydney or Thomas. Michael looks like a possibility. Thanks.

I’ve traced Michael back to Thomas S. Tann b 1917 and he fits into the Tan family I found on another tree that attaches to the Pike/Brimblecombe family on my tree. Thanks very much Galium and all those who helped. 👏👏👏
