Just noting some inconsistencies - you've previously said that the marriage was in the American Cathedral, Avenue George V, and that her husband was in the American Red Cross.

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.

I think the wedding was in 1945,the exact date I dont know.The marriage did not last too long as I think they divorced around 1946.She then married Rupert L.Rupert. in 1952 in Las Vegus.What I amtrying to find out is the exact date for the divorce  and if she had a child.I dont need to know the childs name or anything,just if she had a child,she was buried in Arlington Cemetary,1999. Any help with this greatley appreciated,thank you,tom
