Thanks very much Karen , I'll check this out because My Fury Family since 1860s up to present day always first Wife Dies , I know that sounds a bit weird but I wonder if we have a curse because this has happened through 4 generations , my cousin being the most recent , his Dad before him , Grandad before him etc etc , I'm off to check thanx very very much.

I'm now sat with Razor in one hand .
The Faulkners or Faulkeners go back to about 1700 on the LDSaints , I still don't get the name change but then again Dads Mum Beatrice Seymour Grandaughter to John Seaman/Seymour was also a bigamist so nothing surprises me , she dropped her 2 children off at a orphanage in Bilton then re married using her sister Dorothys name until she died in 1941 in the Blitz in London thenn buried as Beatrice again

Kezia went onto marry into the Walker family , lived in Rugby with lots of children yet when John Seaman/Seymour's son John Robert Seymour was in Haddon Asylum for Epilepsy his wife Annie wouldn't take him back when asked had he any family he said no so he died in the workhouse a road away from his wife & children one of the children was my grandmother , you can see where I get my sense of humour from the clues are there ASYLUM lol

There are a couple of trees on Ancestry with the son John Seaman on them but they don't have his father down. One is locked up so you can't see that one.

I don't know Warwickshire very well but can you go missing in that area , Charlotte was from Newham Northamptonshire I did get lost there once lol really strange they had a daughter born about 1837 called Kezia who was raised by her grandmother Elizabeth in Northants .

I beleive years ago if your wife went missing for 7 years you could marry again as in poorer families there was no divorce.
