Ann BELLINGHAM and Augustus Louis ROBERTS had a child George BELLINGHAM ROBERTS in 1909. Were they married? I assume so, but have no evidence at this stage and have no knowledge of where it may have happened.

I do not know anything more about Ann.

Augustus Louis was my great-great-grandfather, who already had three children to his former wife, Catherine CATSON. Catherine and her children emigrated to New Zealand in the early 1900s. Augustus was in the Royal Navy. I am descended from their daughter Louisa Margaret Julia who was born in Malta in 1891.

I know of Ann and her son George from a newspaper clipping (paper unknown) held by the New Zealand-based first family of AL ROBERTS. The clipping talks of George BELLINGHAM ROBERTS visiting his half-brother George ROBERTS in New Zealand, and his pending marriage to Isabella Marie FINLAYSON (which ended in divorce in 1937). With the information in the newspaper clipping I was able to track down the marriage record of George B. and Isabella.

I would love to hear from anyone who is connected to any of these names.

Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard
