Help deciphering a name

The last mention I can find so far of Madeline Sidney Hussey is this entry here https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/7eab0c0c-673d-4295-a664-a99e51a7e2a1

At this time, the 1905 electoral Rolls shows Eugene as residing 50 Great Cumberland Place.

Madeline is mentioned in the deeds of her g/mother Sarah Ann Hussey in November 1906 .

I still havent found who Frank had a child with but have found a small DNA 24-71cM connection to 3 descendants of George Henry Adcock and Adelaide Ellen Howard.

My theory is that Frank had a brief affair with Adelaide and the DNA is from that relationship. Theres a tiny amount of shared matches. No Goring or broader Howards I can link. No Adcocks at all

More work to do.

Thanks for update 

Have you managed to make any contact with the descendants of Frank? I wonder what if anything they know of Frank's early years in Australia. Wonder also whether any of them have done or have considered doing a DNA test.

I have indeed. Descendants of Frank's two daughters. High shared cM - 417, 410, 203, 183, 138cM. No one knows about Frank or his parents. The mystery ancestor for most

I've ordered the death certificate for Eric Stratton, death of Francis Rivier and marriage of Eric Stratton in 1941.

I wonder if Eric/Howard was a war avoider?

You certainly seem to have a full collection there  All more or less connects with what you have been building up for background.

Can I ask, I am right to think the only missing cert for Alfred Eric is his natural birth cert? Adoption record is indexed as 1917?

Great to have nearly all of it confirmed via DNA.

My original assumption was that Howard Reynolds Adcock was adopted by Adcock/Howard family but there are DNA matches to that family. I need more proof but Francis Rivier may have gotten Adelaide Adcock nee Howard pregnant. Very unusual because she was actively having children during this time.

The DNA matches to Francis known children are very very good.

[MonicaL]

So that 1917 birth entry, you think it might be the original birth cert? Showing Adelaide and husband as parents?

On a side line, just checking if you have seen Edna Warendorph's US Passport application from 1896?
She sounds an intrepid soul

Likely she came to the UK not long after this?
