I found that passenger list for Mrs S in 1938 when I was having another look this evening and found both Melville and his brother Gerald sailing to Aus and NZ at such young ages.
There don't appear to be any other Harcourt-Wybert anywhere, so she has to fit in somewhere. I also wonder if Emily Enid Selina went by Selina and fudged her age.
It is interesting that Melville's marriage report in 1931 does not indicate that his father is dead.
Looking for Charles William Lancaster Wybert, there is a family tree on Ancestry which has Charles Wybert and Sarah Blumenthal as parents with a son Francis Ernest born Waterford 1879, but the tree does not have a lot of detail.
FE Wybert Actor b c1879 Ireland is on the 1901 in Durham, then he seems to go to America where he also becomes a bit vague about his age, 1918 be is b c1879 but be 1930 he is b c1891, got the same wife and daughter though!
What is it with these people!
