Bollettie Mary Hobbs (div. Davies), née Rasmussen
« on: Wednesday 07 December 16 18:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello - could anyone help?

I am trying to find  out what happened to Bollettie Mary Davies after she divorced my (cad of a...) grandfather, Herman George Tankersley Davies, in Dunedin in 1916 ("George", as he was known, having left for Oz with another woman in 1911 - and that was just the start....).

Bollettie appears to have married a Thomas Edgar Hobbs in 1919, but after that I have drawn a blank. Was there any issue from that match, I wonder, and where and when did they live and die?

I am also, particularly, curious to learn the fate of Bollettie's child with Davies, Walter Hansen (b. 1909): there too, I have found nothing.

Many, many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Yes, she did remarry,  four years later to  Richmond John Stevenson Gray  Note spelling for her name was Bolette for this record :)

Hi Handsri -

The link I gave you I'd not noticed that you had added a reply - just to let you
know poster alisonjar has not been active on roots since 2011 but if her email is still active
she should receive your message - once you have made three posts you can contact her by
using the personal message system

good luck  :)
