The marriage is registered in Kensington, so that doesn’t rule out your theory.

I first pick up Albert in 1930 electoral register at 64 West Cromwell Road with Robert Frew & Ada Whiteley.

1925-29 register shows Robert Frew, Ada & Reginald Whiteley

Believe Ada Ella Whiteley was born 1863 Clifton, York. Can find her on 1871/81/91 census and then nothing until 1925.

Ada Ella died 1951 and her probate mentions Albert Adair Whiteley. The probate also records she was a "widow". Is Albert her son?? from a possible relationship abroad. There is a will--interesting reading I suspect.

From an Ancestry family tree for Albert Adair Whiteley, I saw this and forgot to post. It is unsourced so, as always, flashing all the standard health warnings for this info that is not sourced:

Also Known As

Hi Alan - any chance that W.S.L. is actually W.S.Y. ? I think he might have stayed at the West Side YMCA.
JC

Following on from the last reply, there is a second page associated with that immigration record in 1920. It says that he was previously in the USA in 1900, which fits with the New York–London record from 1900 noted earlier. It also says that he plans to stay for 2 months, that his destination address is W.S.L., Broadway, NY and that his place of birth is Glasgow, Scotland.

Definitely WSL, but I suppose it could be a typo.

Ok, there you go. W.S.L. The White Star Line (owner of the Titanic) had an office at 9 Broadway, NY.
