Hello to one and all I was recently browsing the marriage records at wiltshirebmd and came across the marriage at St Andrew’s, Chippenham in 1924 of Charlie Lovelock and Dorothy E Mortimer. Then at St Michael and All Angels in Lyneham in 1927 was the marriage of Dorothy E Lovelock to Alfred H Hemmings. The Lyneham Line shows Dorothy the daughter of Jesse Lovelock and Jane (nee Robinson) born in 1901 married a Mortimer, but no date or other detail is given. The Line also shows that Charlie the son of Tom Lovelock and Emily (nee Humphries) born in 1895 married Dorothy E Mortimer on 31 May 1924 and had children Derek and Joyce. I am intrigued by the mixture of Dorothy’s and Mortimer’s, but also by the implication that Charlie and Dorothy, having married in almost the middle of 1924, had two children and then divorced in time for Dorothy to marry Alfred Hemmings before the end of 1927. Is that really what happened, or have I missed a simpler explanation? Regards Graham
