George, The Times for Friday 6 November 1906, page 10 (Court News) carried the announcement: A marriage has been arranged between Dr E Chittenden Bridges, of South Kensington, and Mrs Winterfeldt, daughter of the late Dr William Scott, of Waverley-house, Huddersfield. So the Winterfeldt marriage ended before that date. The "single and unmarried" wording on the 1907 marriage certificate further suggests that it ended in annulment rather than divorce. Annulment declares the marriage invalid so that, in the eyes of the law, Helen had never been married and was indeed single. If you Google Hans Winterfeldt and his father, Max, you will find there is a lot of information about them available online, particularly in Google Books. They were German bankers with interests in the UK, USA and South Africa. Hans became a US citizen well before the First World War. Judging by the passenger lists on Ancestry, he was a frequent traveller to and from the United States. Caroline Gurney www.carosfamily.com
