Looking for info on Harry McMAHON born in New Zealand and went to Canada. In 1925 he married Jeanne Yvonne MARTY. He then disappeared from the scene and reappeared as Jerome McMAHON and died in Vancouver 10 Jan 1949. By that stage he had remarried a Alice SAPETA. No details can be found
Can anyone help please, thanks

Just noticed on Carl's death, Raymond is step son, son in law for Marie Yvonne
-
Nascou and Raymond can be picked up in the Canada Voter's list, Raymond is with Sylvia, but I can't see any marriage to pull Carl in or anything about Alice.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your input and information
Harry and Jerome are one in the same. He was a real enigma. He disappeared from NZ and was found (by the Salvation Army) to have gone to Canada. He had died by that stage. He then disappeared again from his first wife when his son Ray was born
The things I am looking for are his marriage certificate to Alice Sapeta. Did he divorce Marie? I cannot seem to find divorce papers online. Was either not married to Alice or perhaps he was a bigamist! I cannot find their marriage certificate or her death certificate
Marie remarried the same year as Harry died. Does this tell me they still kept in touch?
I am surprised that Probate was filed in NZ so will get a copy of that
Thanks, i am a novice at this sort of thing!

Is there anyway I can find out if Harry served in the Canadian Armed Forces during WW2?
