Thank you. I just found his wife’s death notice. Marlene. Two children are named.

This probably has nothing to do with your search, but do you know why Leslie's mother, Edith Helen Melhuish, sailed for America a few weeks after the 1911 census along with Isaac Astin (not sure if that's her father or another relative as he has the wrong middle initial to be her dad). Seems an odd thing to be happening, leaving her children behind....

Perhaps that's where Leslie got his wanderlust from?!!

Not sure of course, but thought 1960 to KJH.

No, I didn’t know. The Melhuish family had boats. They had fishing fleets.

I think it’s Edith’s fil, Samuel’s father, who is supposed to have had a parallel family in the Faroe Islands.

I’m thinking this offer to help might send me even loopier than I am already.

Yes, that's the one I thought - two children from that union.

So there were two from the eldest child. I’ve found one daughter from the middle child, and you have two from the youngest. I also found a marriage for the daughter’s child. I think.

If Leslie went off and left his family, it seems strange they carried on the name. Understand the first one.

MERRY!!!

There is a K M (maybe KJH) living in Australia on FB.

One of her friends is a person with the H surname.

Should I be cheeky and message?

Message sent via FB. I know you don’t see them sometimes so I sent a friend request as well.
