Jim:
I checked the RG-39D - B142 Dakin - Dakin Divorce, 1914 File today and
unfortunately it's not for Jeannette Morris and Blair Dakin.
It's for Frederick Morgan Dakin who petitioned the Court for a divorce from
his wife, Martha O'Neil, claiming she committed adultery with a Vernon T.
Dakin. Said marriage declared null & void in 1915.
Fred and Martha were married 30 Dec 1896 in Sandy Cove, Digby Co. by Rev.
John C. Morse. They lived together until 1910 when Martha left the household
and went to Hudson, Mass. to live with Vernon T. Dakin, formerly of
Centreville. Then Martha and Vernon moved to Three Hills, Alberta where she
bore him a child (unnamed) on 27 Apr 1913.
Fred and Martha had issue of 5 sons and 2 daughters from their marriage:
Nelson Roy Dakin, 12 Apr 1898
Cecil Clyde Dakin, 17 Apr 1900
Basil Morgan Dakin, 19 Oct 1902
Freda May Dakin, 17 Nov 1904
Thomas Howard Dakin, 9 Feb 1906
Ernest Garfield Dakin, 8 Sep 1907
Bertha Amelia Dakin, 29 Aug 1909
Fred given custody of the children.
