I have been in contact with one of Madeleine's children..(Fredrick Fleet's grandchild)
This is where I have got the informations from..yet contact is irratic...and limited..hence I don't have the full story.

Hi Susan,

Well....I pretty sure they did marry...though I don't know for sure...but the children have taken the Fleet surname...so I assume they did marry.

Yes..this is a tricky one...lol...The story of the war time GI is most interesting....but I know so little about it.

There was a story that Majorie had a "fling" with a US GI during the war..when she was very young.

I believe an adoption took place and the child was taken back to the US with the GI...

All I know of that is the name "Colin"...but I don't know if the name is on the child ..or the GI.

It would be most interesting to find out if this story is true...but with so little to go on, I expect it would be impossible to find out the truth.

There was mention Fredrick was born in Devon..yet i cant kind a Fredrick Fleet of same name born there..though there is one in Somerset...yet the name doesn't totally match.

Full name..I think.....Fredrick James Leeson Fleet.

Ok..they had 2 children..1 boy ..1 girl...

Don't know the boys (Andrew) dob...but I believe the girls (Madeleine) is 1964.....

I am thinking...they maybe twins..so the same date may apply to Andrew also...
I dont believe Jack died....but I can't say for sure.

Jacks last child with Marjorie was born mid - late 50's as child before that was born 1954....I think.
So time span looks to be from 1956 to 64.

Any help?
