Hi Lu There was a fair bit of info on the electoral rolls on previous post. Just always hoping for that something extra. Ha! Think the post by 'Ballydw' might be a no....
Information had Arthur W Preston departing from Glasgow on the ship Transylvania as a widower aged approx 35. Bound for New york arrival date 17th June 1928. Seemed fair enough but my concern there was his occupation being a miner (and him a prior Army pensioner. some form of physical disability? He married a Mary F Smith born Scotland age 28. in Kanawha West Virginia and 1930 census had them at Cabin Creek Canawha W Virginia.
However by fluke chance I came across a family tree link on UK boards which was a certainty for Agnes and Arthur Preston which I thought took them to Australia as there was a return passage citation from Brisbane back to UK which I couldn't view due to my limited subscription. However with the help of researchers on Australian and NewZealand Boards had both them and their son Donald Arthur age 1 leaving for Newzealand in 1920 and up to 1928 still there. Then 1932 father and son return to UK but no Agnes!!! No death records for her so suggestion of a divorce and remarriage crops up, as does continually the surname DENT ,together with her criteria make it a possibility but is she likey to have moved from wellington to New South Wales
Her son only 12 years old on return to UK without his Mum.
Father and son appear to have sat tidy in our family tree from therein since I found them again. His son maried and had his own family. No sign of Arthur ever remarrying and no sign of Agnes. Carol
