My Auntie Doff married the same man twice. The first marriage was in 1931 at a Registry Office in London and the man she married was named as Douglas Lionel Horace Hyde. He signed the register H.L Hyde.

The second marriage was in 1933 at a church in Basildon in Essex – the man was named as Douglas Lionel Horace Leonard Hyde and he signed the register L. Hyde.

This Len Hyde (as I seem to remember that was what he was called in the family) was quite a mystery man. I can find very little trace of him in the records (a possible birth registration) and indeed he eventually disappeared entirely, leaving wife and son.
Naturally, this has peaked my interest – there are all sorts of possibilities to pursue, but I am forced to wonder if anyone in the family knows anything more about this. If you do, please contact me – I am consumed with curiosity!
