Thanks for all the responses of course. Percy Smith was living at 25 Beverley Road, Penge, Kent until at least the end of June 1939 which is when his first wife (my husband’s mother) died. Thereafter he moved and is next found by us living at 61 Arngask Road, Catford, London when he marries his 2nd wife in August 1940. The Percy living near Ashford in 1939 is unlikely to be ours unless Laura was simply a very short term girlfriend, He marries an Eileen Margaret ALLEN in 1940. Between losing his first wife and gaining his second, he takes only his son with him into the next marriage. Mabel Colleen and his step daughter Constance MORAN disappear from his family. We discovered what happened to Constance (she dies quite young) but have been unable to trace Mabel. May be she did go to South Africa as has been suggested by you wonderful hunters. We are naturally chasing this down. We are also chasing up Louisa Winter’s daughter (Lillian Slingluff) in the USA right now. Have found a few entries for her but nothing which gives parents. Thanks again to one and all who are helping so much. Just finding the death item on Louisa has raised our hopes, even if it results in cancelling her out..... --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
