Nope! I just think it's a fantastic mystery......... As well as the story being of great historical significance, which is besides the fact that it is a very personal story and journey for yourself! *hugs*

Joan that is great that she mentions this. It does sound like Mr Platt did exist. The mystery being where did he go, and why?

Thanks Toni - yes - and why did he marry Caroline a month before HW Wicks married her, giving as his address the same address as Wicks?

I have lots of hunting to do!

What a shame no one seems to have the wedding photos!

Putting a ring at the top of her assets list and saying it was from Platt sounds like a double bluff to me.

LOL, Merry!!

You could be right....the list doesn't include any other jewelry ....no ring from Wicks

So maybe one ring, one husband!

That makes sense

We never knew who Mr Platt was.... Clarence Thomas Platt married Caroline Dowsett in 1918 about a month before HW Wicks married her. As we could never find Clarence, I had decided that he was actually HW Wicks, and there was some insurance scam involved.

Now it seems as though maybe Clarence did exist.

It's all very complicated

Having had a break from doing my tree for a while, I now feel motivated to resume it, and will try to put a Clarence Thomas Platt query together for the advice of all you experts

I can't wait I have missed your conundrums!
