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!

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
