Hi Ann,

No problem. I just needed to confirm you knew the topic existed.

Hi Spades, Yes sorry for the delay Spencer Gerald did end up for the last 6 years of his life living in New Zealand in Wellington. He apparently worked as a hospital warden before settling down with a new partner Jane Treufelt and had two more daughters. Unsure if he did marry Jane but noted on his death certificate she is referred to as his partner with her previous married name on it. AnnAus

Hi Spades, have you managed to find anything more about Spencer Gerald Workman who was born in England 1917 to Frances Violet Baker and Benjamin Lester Workman. There was a big age difference between the two and she was 8 mths pregnant at the time of marriage. After his Mother's death there is a big blank in Spencer's life till first married that was short lived then he travelled to Australia in the early 1950's and later to New Zealand. Thanks AnnAus

By the way, I cannot see a marriage between Spencer Gerald WORKMAN and Jane TREUFELDT up to 1956.
