Ernest George Mackenzie b.1892 mystery emigration and death

[Jool]

Following up on Genene, there is this marriage:

Marriage Jun 1925 Marylebone 1a 1329
Buckley    William A R    Coelen       
Coelen    Eugenie M J    Buckley

Maybe Eugenie preferred to be called Genene.

Birth June 1905 Uxbridge 3a 39
Coelen    Eugenie J M

In 1911 Eugenie (b. 1905) is with her parents, Gerard F J H Coelen and Marie A G V Coelen. Her parents were born in Holland (maybe where the South Africa connection came from - surname/accent??)   

The 1939 entry (William Buckley/Genene Mackenzie) has her birth as 20th March 1908.
However, The Daily News (London) dated 24 March 1905 has this birth announcement.  "COELEN - 20th March, at The Warren, Northwood, Middlesex, the wife of Gerard Coelen, of a daughter".  Same address as 1911.

Eugenie can also be found in 1921 with her widowed mother as guests at a hotel in Pembridge Square, London.

I'm still looking but will post this for your thoughts.

Well found Jool. Ernest George/George Ernest was born 6th March 1892. he appears as a married man in war register with this same dob as George O Mackenzie. He also appears in the London electoral registers at the 1939 address from 1935-9 as George Ernest MacKenzie

William seems to have  remarried a Mary Usher in 1926 Midlothian. Wonder if he and Eugenie divorced?

The person who wrote out the 1939 page had very idiosyncratic handwriting. Looking at other examples on neighbouring pages I would say that the initial after George isn't 'O' but 'E'.

Compare with the 'E' in Eliza on these snips

George E Mackenzie's occupation in 1939 was Advertising Manager.

This fits well with the occupation of the George Mackenzie who died in 1956.

Could this be him in the Cape? Sorry incorrect. Not sure how to delete this.

Ernest George Mackenzie has quite a distinctive signature at the bottom of the 1921 census (when he is with Jessie and Kenneth).  Maybe Francis could order a copy of the probate record for George Ernest Mackenzie posted by softly softly in post #7 and compare the signature.  It only costs £1.50.

Given the coincidence of the dates of birth I think it seems a strong possibility.

I like Jool's idea of comparing signatures.
