Rupert Seymour Cecil Beresford & his three wifes !

[alveleyhistorian]

My father was Rupert Seymour Beresford and I am interested in his previous wives. Rupert died in Kenya in 2007

Hi there, now I am confused - that would make him about a 100 years old when he died ?...unless of course it's a later generation ??

rupert Seymour Cecil Beresford was my father. My mother was the third wife Joan Willis. I am keen to find out more about my father's previous marriages, Also my grandfather Rupert Beresford who died in 1947 and married Fanny Binder in Chelsea in 1929. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
I have been working on this line of my family tree for some time, so apologies for anyone reading a similar item a few months back..

Rupert Seymour Cecil Beresford was born in the Chelsea or  Islington ? area in 1907
His first wife was Hilda Stella Lacey in 1927. But she petitioned him for divorce in 1934 and she later married a Henry Jacobs in 1944.
Rupert's second wife was Helen Irene Sherry ( born 1916) ....his third wife was possibly a Joan Willis ?
Rupert later emigrated to New York in 1954...
Ring any bells with anyone ?

Yes, Fanny Binder is in my family tree. I will send you a private message. Rupert and Fanny Beresford, lived in very posh apartments around London in the 1930's, my step-sister who is , nearly 90 remembers it all in detail..
