Further to Cecil Gordon 'Kennedy' Sladen - Kennedy was assumed.
Thank you for your replies.
Cecil was my grandfather but I can only remember meeting him once, Nellie Thorn my grandmother was his second wife. I am trying to flesh out the huge gaps in his life which was - shall we say eventful?
He married in 1901 - we believe he ran off with a maid and lived in New York where he had a son.
Divorced in 1917
Married Nellie in 1918 divorced sometime early 30's (another maid getting pregnant I'm afraid).
Married again - who?
He had a commission in the RA which he resigned - did he go abroad - some mention of China & India. He came back and enlisted in the RAOD in 1914
He was trained as an engineer and there are some patents logged in his name
He also discovered Christian Spiritualism in later life.
A bit of character to say the least any thing would be of interest
thanks Trevor

Travelling with 20? yr old Mabel, housewife, he is an engineer. Closest relative in England was sister & sister in law, Miss Mabel Sladen, Tadmartan ? Rectory, Banbury.

He had been in US before, think it says 3 months. They were going to see a friend in New York, Mr Grafter? They were staying at Hotel Gallery??, Kingston, NY.
He was 5'11", med complexion, brown hair, grey eyes with a scar over right eye.
She was 5'6", med complexion, brown hair, grey eyes and was born in Woolwich.

A possible in New York:

Residence Year: 1911

An engineer.

He was at that address in 1912 and then he was at 723 E158th in 1913.

Slightly different version to the one Alviegal posted:

New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957

Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Adriatic

Travelling with his wife Mabel !!! She was 20.

Gives nok in England as sister in law Miss Mabel Sladen, Tadmartan ?? Rectory, Banbury. EDIT: Think it was his sister and her sister-in-law.

He was an engineer, had previously been in USA for 3 months. Contact in the US was a friend Mr Grafton (Grafter?) in Kingston, New York.

I think this may be that Mabel in 1910:

Now, I know this is dated 1964 and he died 1963 but it depends on the timings. Gladys is alone at this address on the 1965 ER.

The 1908 arrival in the US mentioned he'd been there previously, this must be him returning from the first trip:

Have just come across this old thread:
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/records_office/thread/730934

Would be worth Trevor attempting to get in touch with the poster.

In her post she thinks that the info about the 1901 marriage for Cecil Gordon was incorrect:
"I don't think that is the right one sorry, as Cecil Gordon married a Mabel Demmerill."

Aha, now we have Mabel's surname. The son is named as Cecil Richard Sladen born 30/3/1913 New York.

I'll put a link to this thread on there.
