This is a long one - bear with me please!
I have been looking into the FT of my bf. I found his grandmother in Scotland. She was married to a german. After his mother's birth in 1930, the german disappears, although I have now found him. My BF was told that he had been repatriated during the war and the reason that his grannie divorced him was that he wanted her to go back with him. I think this is distinctly unlikely - he came to this country when he was aged 1 and by the age of 11 was in an orphanage so it is unlikely he would have spoken much german or been terribly aware of his german heritage. It transpires that he became a comedian and ice skater and travelled all over the world. He fathered another child by the name of Gloria Antoinette Henshall and I think she married in America (she didn't marry here) because she went under the name Cardona (although this could have been a stage name). Gloria in turn had a child in 1958. This child would be my BF's half cousin and he would like to make contact. However, I can't find him ANYWHERE! No death, marriage etc, no electoral roll so unless he has emigrated I have no idea. I am going to obtain a copy of his mother's death certificate to see if he was the informant.
Now here is the twist. (2 part post)
