Thanks Austinq for add info & ArgyllGran did not expect 1st wedding

Hi all, more info on Christine m 1957 the 8th Earl of Essex (Capell) in Bermuda or Australia, she died in Australia could be New South Wales 1985

Not seeing that marriage yet- still looking.

Algernon George de Vere Capell (eighth Earl of Essex), married American- Mildred Carson in 1950- he was 66 then and it was his 3rd marriage.

Where did you get the information from?
