Hi,
My mum and I are starting on our journey to find out where we came from. We only seem to be able to go back to george edward saunders b aug 1927. All we know is his father (whom we were told was Herbert Saunders) was jailed for bigamy. We're having trouble finding who he was - perhaps saunders was not his legal name? George was sent to an orphanage when he was 7 (1934??) He wasnt adopted but returned to his mother at some stage. Married Marjorie Rose richardson and had 5 chn (lived in brighton) One of which as my mother born 1950. Emmigrated to western australia 1960's.
I want to know if there is somewhere I can find court/legal documents re bigamy around 1934 to see who he was. Does any one know where I can start.
Thanks
Mel
Hi Mel,
Have you solved the problem yet of Herbert William Saunders origins yet, as I have not seen the correct full response in any of the reply posts? He was born 1884 as Herbert William Mewett in Battersea. He first married Minnie Avery 1908 in Brighton. They did have a daughter, Beatrice Mabel in 1906 Brighton. He then married Bertha Ellen Mclenahan in 1923 while Minnie was still alive. I have a lot more detail, but rootschat may not be the easiest place to discuss all that you wish to know. Is it possible to send me your email address through here? Darryl Mewett
