Hello there Naomi
Hope you are still willing to share any findings as the mystery for my wife still exists about her nan and granddad Frederick Alfred Pell.
Anything new ??

Hi,

I got the medical records of Frederick Alfred PELL, and they make me more convinced that we are talking about the same guy, but it's so confusing! He claims a birth date of 10/5/1891, even though we know he was born in much earlier. He claims to be unmarried at the time of marrying his second wife, but his first wife is still alive. He is absent from the records during the time the illegitimate family I have was being born.

I also found a reference to a will of a William Rowland JACKAMAN, Solicitor, who left his money to a Constance PELL in 1929. Might this be her mysterious benefactor?

What happened to Frederick Alfred after he deserted the army in 1920? The next time he appears, he is joining up again in 1940, and he remarries the same year. The illegitimate children that look like they are his are born in 1924, 1926, and 1927.

I would REALLY like to see Edna Marion's marriage certificate, to see what she gives as her father's name and occupation.

Hi Naomi
Great to have you back.My wife's mum's marriage was one of our well established events and we don't have a Marriage cert.The marriage to Eric William George Sims took place 20/6/1931 in Greenwich at St Paul's Church  You will be able to get a cert faster than we can in New Zealand and hope you will be happy to share the info with us.Similarly can you give a link to the Solicitor as we would like to see what the provisions of the will were.Solving the source of this favourite Nans "private means" would be great .
Happy hunting
