However, his marriage to my mother occurred in london in 1948. could you please clarify marriage to ellen o'connor-was it an assumption or a fact.were there children etc,what happened to ellen.

thank you Lin Sharland.

Pure speculation based on the assumption that Teignmouth / Newton Abbott was the likely marriage area.

I certainly do not want to crashing into possible "skeletons" so perhaps its best to leave this line for the time being.
