Yes KHP but there's still a story there I like to know.  The other thing that I listed was talk of a big family but there were none or possibly one child by his first wife and 4 by Helen, one died very young, so the photo I remember seeing with a crowded lawn must have been made up of Helen Horne's family who had been in NZ a few generations.

Maud's name has been crossed out on a shipping list that  left the UK on the 2nd Dec 1920 on the Ruahine.

Hi Fred,

If Arthur left the UK on the 6th march 1920 it was only a month after he married Maud.
If her name was crossed out on the the ship that left the UK on the 2nd December the same year maybe she never came to NZ and it was her who was considered the deserter.
The divorce was the same year he married Helen Horne.

An interesting birth  ;D ;D

1922/28983   Horne    Helen    to Ada Frances   and John Lewis

maybe when she thought of marriage it was discovered her birth had not been registered as the exact date works out to be 18/8/1901 when narrowed down on NZ BDM's

Janette - yes, so far I've not found an arrival in NZ for Maud so did she back out?  It's a big move even today, leaving behind family and friends.  I had a friend who set off for Australia in about 1960, the £10 Poms.  His mother had a nervous breakdown on the voyage and they were stranded in Aden until they returned home, she was a nice lady but I think that episode ruined the marriage, her health.  To be honest I don't really know what happened but she disappeared, I never questioned her sons, my friends.  Thank's for the help by the way.  Fred
