    Default Marriages/Divorce in Bulawayo Zimbabwe

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find out about my Uncle John Charles Treherne. He married his first wife Isabella Mearns when he was in the Army stationed in Constantinople1921-25, I was told her family brought her back to England to die. ,then in 1946-50 married Beryl Crickmer in Cairo, Auntie Beryl died in in Bulawayo 18 Aug 1954.
    He then had (I think) 4 other marriages some in Bulawayo also England. Joyce Hersey 1957 Bulawayo, Phillis? and Constance? Uncle Jack died 23 June 1966 In Bulawayo his death on the net states he was divorced.
    I have not been able to find any of the deaths except Auntie Beryl.

    Was he still in the army during his Cairo And Bulawayo days?
    It might be worth looking for any English language papers with BMD sections that they had in the relevant areas..
    Have you looked for marriage & death certificates?

    Phyllis is named as Phyllis May Treherne, formerly Freeman, on John's death notice.

    your public tree on Ancestry has Isabella dying in 1978. Have you decided that isn't correct ?

    a lieutenant-commander John C Treherne married Constance W Lewis in Newbury, Berkshire in 1955, but this may well be a different person (and possibly this information should be deleted)

    I think this is likely to be the John Charles Treherne whose dates are 1908-1977. So if that was the Constance you were thinking of, I think you can, as it were, cross her off your list.

    regarding Phyllis, I think she was born Phyllis May Chatfield.
    she married Albert William Freeman in London in 1938.
    Albert died at Bulawayo in 1961 aged 47.
