Her headstone is interesting in that it uses her first married name.

IF this online tree is correct then there are 3 children to Betty and Harry (including one who could be the descendant mentioned above)

oze,

Would I be correct in thinking your inquiry is trying to clearly identify the man in this English marriage?


Marriages Mar 1936   

Chubb  Lilian M     
To
De Maskens  Harry E  at  Paddington  1a /09

The appearance on the 1954 E. Roll of Harry Edward Gratte De MASKENS at the Wardell St address does not mean it is necessarily the senior man, husband of Laura. After all, their names were very similar

The son Harry Edward William Gratte de MASKENS may have failed to alter his  original address     before registering at his new one with his wife.

To Sparrett,
Yes, I am trying to establish if the Harry Edward de Gratte Maskens who married Laura Summers  is the same person as a Harry Maskens from England. A family rumour was that he, Harry Maskens, had travelled to Australia, had a family there, returned to England alone then married (probably Lilian Chubb was the wife). Previously, in 1916, Harry Maskens married Lilian Warby. I know that Harry Maskens was in England in the mid-1940’s. I have looked for his arrival and departure from Australia on passenger lists. In 1930 Laura and Harry Edward William appear to be living on their own. I cannot find Harry Maskens on passenger lists but he could have travelled under a variety of name combinations, including Harry D G Maskens, Harry Gratte Maskens, etc. or under his step-father’s surname Edwards. I cannot find a record of divorce for him in either England or Australia.
I am also interested in the information which has been sent to me about Harry's family in Australia and whether his son Harry Edward William de Gratte Maskens had children.
