Alan Carr b1931

[Ratty2]

Yes, thank you all for your patience and careful checking. My apologies for persisting with the error.

You are quite correct that the Alan we seek is not the Alan T(homas) who married Brenda.

I'll go through these suggestions and will get back to you. Regrettably the BC of 1931 will take about six weeks to reach me. Meanwhile I am following up the possible current connections Kay99 mentioned - the grave flowers and the family tree.

Allan and Kathleen divorced at some date, and both also remarried. Does GRO keep divorce records and how do I reach them?

Stay tuned
Thanks again
Ratty

I looked here but couldn’t find anything

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/divorce/#4-divorce-case-files-1858-1972

Snippet  “ Very few files survive for the period 1938-1972. Files containing petitions dated after 1972 have not been transferred to the National Archives”

Have not yet found the divorce, but I have found Alan's 2nd marriage was 1st Qtr 1962 to Marjorie Vernon (Vol 10e p620).

The link you gave to the Ancestry tree works well and is helpful.

No image of Alan as yet 
No mention of his death in Wales newspapers.

This tree suggests that Alan remarried after his split with Kathleen

Many thanks Kay99, this proved the best clue and the correct one. I have been in touch with the owner who is a cousin of my friend, and who has supplied the photo originally asked for.

So this satisfactorily concludes the search and my hearty thanks to everyone for their contribution.
