Captain Adrian H Gardner Beruit 1943

Those are the ones I have found and no divorces.  The first 2 had children by him and kept the Gardner name.

Despite styling himself of the Hunter clan, he had no connection and his death was registered as Harry not the self-styled Hunter.

A summary of his marriages (so far?)

Ruth Pothecary m 1940, died 1994
Audrey Wright m 1943, died 1991
Marion Gardner m 1978, died 1990
Margaret Barrow m 1990, died 2001   

And then there's Ella Marjorie Kibble for whom we haven't found a marriage yet. She is with him in 1948 when he arrives back in UK from Takoradi.

There is a death record for Ella M Gardner in Cam in 2012.  Had this man no shame?

He was a one wasn't he

Another possible is Adrian H Gardner age 33 & Born 1915 departed from Lagos on the ship Empire Bure Shipping Line Lamport & Holt. Arrived in Liverpool 4th March 1948, Occupation Trader. Proposed Address in UK 49 South Drive Brentwood. There is a wife Ella M Gardner.

So this was indeed him.  After court martial he has clearly emigrated and returned to UK 4 years later.   It would be interesting to see if I can find out when he left UK in 1944-5.

Could this possibly be him?

Do we know that he came back to to the UK after Beirut? It's possible (probable?) that the court martial took place in the Middle East.
