Hi, any advice anyone can give me concerning Albert Hughes and his first wife Emily Gough will be much appreciated. As I mentioned in previous mail Albert and Emily married 1886 in England. They travelled to Banff in 1887. Albert was a chemist (druggist) and he worked at Banff Santarium, with a Dr Brett. He wrote a letter,31st March 1889 which was obviously a reply, to Emily's brother, Phillip Gough, stating he had divorced Emily (Emma) and remarried a far nicer woman, as he had caught Emily with another man. To me it seemed rather quick to divorce someone and the tone of the letter was very matter of fact, considering it was to Emily's brother who must have been concerned as to his sisters welfare. I found no trace of a divorce, neither has the Library and Archives of Canada, so I have been told today. Albert remarried in 1896 to a lady from England and it was mentioned in the local Medicine Hat newspaper where he had a drug store. They had about four children. So he had obviously lied. Why? I am not sure what my next move should be. He said Emily had gone to USA and was living with a man. I just feel whether Emily was good or bad I need to know what happened to her and was Albert a bigamist. Surely he would be afraid of her turning up again or her family pursuing it. Or did they believe him because Emily had a reputation and he was quite a lot older and a business man with a good family background. Not quite sure where to go now, but I don't wish to upset any descendants of Albert. Ann-Marie
