Hi there,
I have been working on this line of my family tree for some time, so apologies for anyone reading a similar item a few months back..
Rupert Seymour Cecil Beresford was born in the Chelsea or Islington ? area in 1907
His first wife was Hilda Stella Lacey in 1927. But she petitioned him for divorce in 1934 and she later married a Henry Jacobs in 1944.
Rupert's second wife was Helen Irene Sherry ( born 1916) ....his third wife was possibly a Joan Willis ?
Rupert later emigrated to New York in 1954...
Ring any bells with anyone ?
:) :) :)

He was born in Holborn, by the looks of it (Rupert Seymour C BERESFORD, Sep qtr 1907 Holborn 1b 570).
Is there anything in particular you are hoping to find out?
-
Hello, Yes, I am hoping his very 'unique' name rings a bell with someone.
I can also find no children.....which does seems very strange ?....a brickwall for me for sometime :-[
-
So you're not trying to find his parents? (who don't seem to have married one another until 1929)...
Someone who has RSCB in an Ancestry tree attributes 3 living offspring to the Lacey marriage, though various other things about that tree make one wonder about its reliability.
-
Yes, it does seems a very difficult line to trace.
Fanny Binder and her two illegitemate sons Claude and Rupert are recorded as living in a posh apartment in 1911.
and she finally marries Rupert Beresford in 1929....?
The poorer side of family talk of Fanny Binder and her family living in a posh house, and giving gifts of food and chocolate.
But I can only find wifes for Claude & Rupert....no further descendants ??
I am always struggling to find a death for Fanny Gertrude Beresford ( nee Beresford)
Any help much appreciated :)

Yes, Fanny Binder is in my family tree. I will send you a private message. Rupert and Fanny Beresford, lived in very posh apartments around London in the 1930's, my step-sister who is , nearly 90 remembers it all in detail..
