Could someone do a check for a Reuben Ernest Lomas, born Middlesex 1900, to see where he was living in '39 ? I'm hoping Norfolk or Bristol, there seems to be 2 of them floating about ! Thanks, Kevin

No - I think that Mabel 'was' Mrs. Lomas but after 1939 married a Mr. Mead?

The marriage that Maddie has posted is the same Reuben, he upped and left without a trace at some point in the 1930s, my Lomas cousins wonder if there are other Lomas relatives that they don't know about !

On the 1939 register posted Reuben's details have been crossed through with a note - see Con Sheet (? continuation sheet) - but have no idea if that can be done or what it would say.

Mabel's surname is crossed through and Mead written above it and in the same hand there is an M in the margin. In most cases where the name has been changed due to marriage there is also a date written of when the register was altered.

There are no closed records with them.

Perhaps Mabel was never a Lomas and either reverted at some point to a maiden name or married under a maiden name to Mead??

I haven't seen a marriage Mabel to a Reuben Lomas pre 1939 or of a Mabel to a Mead post 1939
