I have been ploughing through at rate of knots a couple of branches of my HEATH family, all thanks to a birth certificate which arrived today.
Those of you familiar with my saga, William James HEATH moved to Inida with family, which I am trying to establish that they were the HEATH's who set up Heaths hotel and were mentioned in the Nilgris guide, owning a confectioners and rest room.
ANyway, the daughter of William, May Bowtell (HEATH) married a William Griffiths TASSELL, the had a daughter called Mary Lillian (TASSELL) b. 26 Oct 1907 in Madras, Madras, India
Mary Lillian married a Daryl Robert George Peal in 1931initial searches indicate he is a commissioned officer in the Indian army. One search in google, which you can do, throws up an entry for the news paper, The Northern Times (Carnarvon, WA Australia, which reports that a Captain Roberty George Peal filed for divorce from his Aunt. He married his Aunt in India, but the courts said it was Null, his wife did not like this and filed counter claim, i was going to copy and paste, but the website has some outage, so I will post the full article later.
I found this record on familysearch, Now, if you are marrying your Aunt, I assume you want to hide this by changing your name a bit. We all know that people use middel names etc anyway, but I am certain this is the same person with his Aunt.
Surprisingly his Aunt is a lot younger, she was 17 to his 22. The marriage took place in 1921. his name is listed as Robert Derryl Peal

Hit a Brickwall? Have you lost all trace of someone? Do not despair, simply make a note they were abducted by aliens! Don't believe in aliens? No problem, just write them off as having disapeared in a time portal
