hello everybody,thank you for the information.I believe that the Henrietta Matthews is the same.She would have been a British subject as N.Ireland was part of the U.K.,also the age.
Henrietta Matthews arrived at San Francisco on the 14/sept/1952.She gave her address as in VanDergrift,pa
Henrietta then married Robert Rupert in Las Vegas on 20/sept 1952.
He was also a divorcee.It seems that they were involved for awhile, and makes me think that the divorce might have happened later and as soon as it came through the married in Vegas.He was a highly decorated soldier serving in W.W.2,Korea,Vietnam,thank you for everything,tom

Thank you everybody,so much information.Hopefully it will help other people who research this family.Its amazing how news paper clippings can lead to this.Its intrigueing that she married Wayne and then married Rupert.How did she meet Rupert.She was a very interisting woman.Very interesting times as well.If I can find more information about this I will post it,it is hard now as all the people I talked to have passed.From what I have been told she got a divorce in Idaho but they did not know why she went there.Once again thank you all for what you have found,tom

I am hoping that by posting the wedding,somebody might be able to help.They were high profile jobs at the time,thank you tom

I am returning to Henrietta again.This is what I know with your help and what I have found out.She was born in 1920 in N.Ireland,daughter of John and Elizabethr and Mrs  Tutty.I had been told that she joined the british army in W.W.2.My mother had a paper cutting and I will put it here.PORTADOWN GIRL WED IN PARIS.HONEYMOON IN ULSTER.Abride from Portadown who,with her American husband,has spent part of her honeymoon in Ulster,was recently married in Paris.Formerly Miss Henrietta (Etta)Tutty,daughter of Mr and Mrs.J.W.Tutty.of Thomas Street,she has married Mr Wayne Dowling Matthews,Beverley Hills,California.Mr and MrsDowling Matthews are both attached to the American Red Cross.He is Directorof Transportation for the Continent.His wife has been Administrative Assistant to the A.R.C. in Paris for the last twelve months.She was given away by the retired Acting Commissioner A.R.C. in Europe.Mr. D.S.Nomady.The Commissioner of A.R.C. in Europe.Mr W.A.Stephens,was best man and Miss Margery Lumb,secretary to the Commissioner,was bridesmaid.Rev,R.L.Alexander,chaplain,U.S.Army,officiated,and the ceremony was in the American Catheral,Avenuee George V.Miss Tutty wore a wedding gown of heavy ivory satin with a train,and her headdress was a halo of natural white lilac.She carried a cluster of white roses.The bridesmaids gown was of cerise velvet and she carried red roses.Guests at the reception included Prince and Princess Dadiana,Count and Countess de Ganay,and officials of the A.R.C.
