Interesting from 30 Mar 1929.  Interesting that Stella is now shown as Stella Wilson

Let’s hope Stella applied for an affiliation order against your Grandfather’s father too. I’ll keep looking  ;D

Oh my goodness. Incredible information. Thank you very much for sharing this. Totally taken aback with all this new information.

Like you said wow she then becomes Wilson. I can’t find her wedding certificate even an index for her and Albert Wilson.

Wonder how they met???

You have been an invaluable help.

Many thanks

Josie

I’m not hopeful. Especially if she was in a relationship with Albert at the time??? Who she also has children with.

But I’m grateful for any help I can get. You have solved one mystery maybe you are the one to solve this one too???

It was said this man was an ice cream seller. Now so far this isn’t true. Also I think it was said he was Italian. Again this is not true as my dad’s DNA doesn’t reflect this. Unfortunately we don’t have my grandads DNA.

Look forward to see what you can find.

Hepburn,

It really is.   I wished my grandad had asked more questions. Had spoken to his mum. Albert just casually said it and my grandad just absorbed it. Never said a word for a long time until he casually said it to his daughter in law (my mum). So there’s no one to ask now. We don’t know the circumstances.

How do I connect to the Hartridge/Presleys of Kent? And then to this huge community in America the Lively/Eplings?

I hope one day some one who holds the key does their DNA and we can finally solve this mystery.

Thank you for responding to my post.

Josie
