The story is that my grandfather ran off with a singer circa 1919 and may have had other children. Whilst he may have tried to change his name and perhaps hide some of his past:- |

Just looking at his service records on Ancestry - is that right that his wife's maiden name was Nowell, too? |

So it's human error with his wife's name on the army records which say he married Eliza Anna Nowell on 6th Nov 1905, church at Burmantofts, Leeds. |

I know about Alfred's life up to him leaving my grandma (Eliza Hannah Terry), my father (George William) and my aunt (Ethel Evelyn) but know nothing after that. He started up a new life with the person he left my grandma for and may have had children from that association. Just want to know what happened to him. The 1921 census may reveal something. |

Jacqueline - was there no family gossip handed down at all about the fancy woman's name? |

No names at all. My sister thought he had gone to America but wasn't that sure. I had so many opportunities in the past to find out more about him but didn't take them up because it didn't seem important and family researching was very much in the future. There was no divorce between my grandmother Eliza and grandad Alfred. He caused problems when he left. My father was in grammar school and he had to leave to go down the pit at the age of thirteen plus a few months to provide money for the family. |
