She is with Ernest and 2 sons.,,her year of birth is as given in 1939,,,,,,,1898 not 1905.

What did she say about her status when she re-married? I assume you have the cert?

Are you 100% certain the woman who married in 1934 was the one who married in 1921 - when she would have been only 16?

And how does the name Neals fit with her maiden name, which you say was Jeeves?

when her son Derek was born in 1934 mothers name was given as Neals .
