He had children by Nellie Marriott after 1922, but I can find no record of their being married. He appears to have abandoned his first wife
Sadly he did not return to his family, he stayed in Liverpool. Boarding with a Mrs Marriott & her family, this is where obviously he met Nellie Marriott and they had Doreen B M Fellows 1925. He had a shop in Bebington, on Bebington Road 52-54 selling second hand furniture this is where he lived above the shop until his death in 1944 at Clatterbridge. Mrs Mercer was the name as witness on his death cert. (After applying for his army records then his will I suddenly found this second family in Wirral & Liverpool.) With the will I had the name of his 3 children but he did not list the mothers. I found Doreen quite easily and got her birth cert. As Margaret Mercer was shown as a spinster on his will I assumed (LOL) that Margaret was a helper of sorts. Her address at his time of death was given as his address too.
Marriott was his 2nd wife, Nellie born in Pilsley, Derbyshire.
Dau. Doreen Beatrice Marriott Fellows c1925 b Bebington.
