Harry McMahon
« on: Tuesday 20 October 15 07:37 BST (UK) »
Looking for info on Harry McMAHON born in New Zealand and went to Canada. In 1925 he married  Jeanne Yvonne MARTY.  He then disappeared from  the scene and reappeared as Jerome McMAHON and died in Vancouver 10 Jan 1949.  By that stage he had remarried a Alice SAPETA.  No details can be found

Can anyone help please, thanks

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

What sort of information are you looking for? are you sure that 'Harry McMahon' and 'Jerome McMahon' are the same man? Do you have both marriage certificates and his death certificate?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Nascou and Raymond can be picked up in the Canada Voter's list, Raymond is with Sylvia, but I can't see any marriage to pull Carl in or anything about Alice.

There's a Times Obit

McMAHON, Raymond Edmond; 78; Duncan BC; Victoria T-C; 2004-2-13; zac

birth would be c 1926

Hi everyone, thanks for all your input and information
Harry and Jerome are one in the same.  He was a real enigma.  He disappeared from NZ and was found (by the Salvation Army) to have gone to Canada. He had died by that stage. He then disappeared again from his first wife when his son Ray was born
The things I am looking for are his marriage certificate to Alice Sapeta.  Did he divorce Marie? I cannot seem to find divorce papers online.  Was either not married to Alice or perhaps he was a bigamist!  I cannot find their marriage certificate or her death certificate
Marie remarried the same year as Harry died.  Does this tell me they still kept in touch?
I am surprised that Probate was filed in NZ so will get a copy of that
Thanks, i am a novice at this sort of thing!

Is there anyway I can find out if Harry served in the Canadian Armed Forces during WW2?
