Can you solve the puzzle about your ancestor, James Timewell (b. 1826, Harberton)?He married Elizabeth Lidstone in England in 1847 and had 6 children.Although Elizabeth didn't die until 1905, James appears to have left his family, emigrated to Australia and started another family with his new wife, Margaret Gilmore, who he married in 1870.As divorces were very uncommon in those days, how did this come about.
I am a decendant of George Timewell (b. 1792), who was a brother of Stephen Upton Timewell (James' father) and I would be glad to exchange information with you about our mutual family.
Thanks
John Timewell
