Hi Joan

Thanks for the info and the source. I got out my copy to have a look. Didn't
realise he was in this book. I see in my notes for Lenore Cecily GREY or
SHAW I have written that Catherine has her as a wife, but Paul
Tanner-Tremaine had her as the daughter of his first wife Louise GREY.
So...she wasn't his wife. BUT was she his daughter or step daughter is now
the question? If he was married 6 times and the marriages as given in the
book are correct then he definitely didn't marry Lenore.

I find it rather strange that there are no divorce files on NAAIRS except
for the first marriage. I've tried every type of combination and can find
nothing. Where did he divorce them??? In Mexico or Vegas or wherever one
goes for a quickie divorce?? :-)

The Hoole book has Elizabeth Madeleine DE LISLE as SCHOEMAN, but she was
married to an H C SCHOEMAN and this was not her maiden name.

Lenore's daughter Anne Adelaide WILMOT married Robert Gilfillan PEARL, but
he obviously has a GILFILLAN ancestor somewhere.

So hopefully we have now sorted out "Ed the Bed" and his wives!

Interesting exercise!

Take care
Tessa
