I have found three marriages for Ernest W(alter) Hards:
Marguerite McGahan 1918
May Upsher 1941
Janet E S Lunn 1961
But while the first marriage is clearly Ernest Walter, backed up by an image of the parish record, the other two are Ernest W.
Studying the Electoral Rolls shows there are at least two (or he's a bigamist maintaining two households!). For example: in 1945 he's in Croydon with May, but he's also in Epsom with Ellen, Gladys, & John; in 1936 he's with Marguerite in Fulham but also in Acton with Mary. I've yet to find a marriage with either Gladys or Ellen.
He's alone and "divorced" in the 1939 register.
Please does anyone have any bright ideas how to sort out which EWH is which, short of ordering the certificates?
Thanks
Keith
