Thanks for all these Pampoen.

The graves are lovely

Let me go thru the information

I knew  some things

Leslie's divorce

Very interested that Mary long predeaceased George
How can I. Find that date ?
I have George as 47 & blind living in Birkenhead but still married

There was another George Samuel Hallis in the area so I don't know if the will I have sent for is the correct one



.Johan was Johana.

Lillian.sued Edward for divorce but stayed with him and had 3 children.after that court case

Could anyone  tell me if this record is wrong

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61358/records/73494?ssrc=pt&tid=108886536&pid=162220421920

It says its death record of  leslies wife mary martje Harrington.1926 but I wonder if thats actually her birth year and she is the one on the grave stone nicknamed koko 🤔

Did Leslie have 2 or 3 wives and which one was the mother of which of his children ?.
David Samuel

Also information from a  great aunt Lillian was that Joan Hilliard HALLIS  had a son called Graham who went to live in England.does that mean she was married ?
