ROBERT JOHN HOGAN - Can anyone help?(Divorcee) married my Grandmother Emily Willis Stringer in Dundee, Natal SA 1919. Born +-1865

If born in UK when do you think he went to SA

How do you know that he had been divorced?

If it's as a result of having the 1919 marriage cert.........what other info does it hold?

I know nothing of this man and am keen to add info to my tree. THX all

His father should be named on the marriage cert............

However, there is no record of emigration for anyone of the name on FMP
