Dear Rootschatters

This lady seems to have  stopped the world and got off c 1950

May was b in Fife, Scotland c1912. dau of James , a miner, and Mary nee DUNLOP. Came to Australia late 1920s ( cant find on any passenger list )

She married Jack Edward NEVILLE, police constable  5 Sep 1931 , Glebe, Sydney
 They had a son, James and unsure whether one or 2 daughters.

 They divorced in 1947. Jack Edward NEVILLE then married to Valerie WHITSED 1949. She d 1985 and he 1986. 

OK so far .......  ?  but what of May ??   The May NEVILLE who d Randwick 1957 isnt her. Not many May NEVILLEs about in the records

Any ideas ?

Bye

some further details from the divorce:

other newspaper records suggest matrimonial problems as early as 1937:

I would think it very likely she did not keep the name "Neville" - remarried or simply changed her name.

 Could she have remarried?

Emilypos,
You have listed the name of a son.
Are you certain he is no longer living?
If not, you should delete his name.
