    3. Dear Genners, I really have to thank Miriam Pollak for bringing this to our attention as once again, the question forms the basis for a wonderful genealogical exercise in sleuthing. So let's see shall we. First of all, looking in FreeBMD there it is for all to see, Irene H.R. Emanuel marrying, presumably a Maureen Boxer. I looked at both marriage indices, for Boxer and Emanuel to make sure and yes, both indices appear to be supporting the idea that an Irene married a Maureen. (Not that this would bat anyone's eyelids these days.) So what next, well, I then checked to see if there had been a birth for an Irene Emanuel about 20 years ago and sure enough there was one Irene H Emanuel (mother, Silverman) born in Wandsworth in 1920. This would support the Lambeth marriage for those of you who are well-versed in London geography. Now it was over to Maureen Boxer and see if there was one born around the same time give or take five years - nada! Nothing save one born "oop north" in 1942. Couldn't be "her." Now what, well, I slid over to the site that shall remain nameless and looked for an Irene Boxer - after all, she was for real. I found an Irene H Boxer in the Electoral Registers living Lambeth, would you believe. I clicked on the image and there she was - with her husband Maurice! Problem solved! Thank you again Miriam for that "Monday" equivalent of the New York Times crossword!
