Research Notes

  • Annabel B Pluck Anna lived in Camberley (Surrey) and was married twice. The first time was at the beginning of WW2. She met an army captain (? Peacock) who was about to go off to war – having been in the reserves - and married him. Unfortunately he died in the war. As a widow, she had use of the facilities of the Army Staff college (Camberley). The college, or its grounds, was used for caring for returning prisoners of war (e.g. from Japanese camps) and Anna was asked to help out. While there, she met a Canadian army Major and went to Canada with him. Unfortunately the marriage didn’t work out (he was violent? due to experiences in the camps?) and sought a divorce. John knew a solicitor who had contacts in a Canadian law firm – the process was difficult as it was in Canada and they were Roman Catholics. I don’t know the result, but she returned to Camberly to live. Anna had two children – Michael by the first marriage and Joanne by the second. Michael was a house-master at St John’s (choral) school in Cambridge for 25 years. He has helped with looking after his Aunt’s (Molly’s) affairs on 9 August 2002.6
