HORACE BOURBARD AND WIFE ADA

[esseco]

Hi all,
I would like some guidance about the above couple. I know Horace was born in France and that he and his wife Ada travelled on board the "Bahia Castillo" departing London on 17th April 1920. I don't know when they arrived in the UK and I can't find them in Australia or when they actually arrived.
My son-in-law knew his grandfather, Kenneth Charles son of Horace and Ada. Kenneth's parents divorced in 1937 and his mother Ada remarried in 1939 to a "Charles". Kenneth took on the new family name of Charles. Probably no paperwork ever done...
If anyone can send me some advice, that would be great. Thank you. Dianne

Hi,
Just to clarify.
Was it the given name OR the surname of Ada's second husband that was Charles.
ie Mr Charles ,,?,,?,,,  Or Mr .? .?..  CHARLES?.

Was the son Mr Kenneth CHARLES or Kenneth Charles  ...?...

When and where did Kenneth the son die?

Horace is AIF (this is a ship returning troops, plus wives acquired).
So - Horace in Australia prior to this date?

there is a newspaper entry in Trove for 1915 - fined for not having lights, or showing lights, or something for a Horace Bourbard.

In 1937, Horace lived at 8 Hawksburn Rd South Yarra, Victoria.  He was a mechanic.
No others of the surname there.
He had previously been in Elsternwick where Ada Emmaline was with him at 5 Joyce Street, An engineer. 1927 & 1928

It looks as if he built a boat. If so,there is a picture of him
