Notes for Effie Redsdale James
BP reports of her: “Effie Redesdale (m 2nd 15 Jan 1927 Frederick Anthony White, of Trevor Ho, Belgrave Place, SW1, and d 1932), dau of John Collinson James”.
______________________

But I could find no sign of this second marriage.  I even searched for all Frederick Anthony White marriages around 1927 but found none with her as the wife.

Burke could have the marriage year wrong.

Her probate confirms the marriage but, of course, not date.

If she was born in 1874, as given in the 1911 census, she would have been 58.
