Note on Husband: Fitzherbert Wheatley BLOOMFIELD - shared note

Fitzherbert's father was the employer of Mary Louisa Graham when her illegitimate son Thomas Graham was born in 1905. Thomas Graham was adopted in about 1907 by Charles Alfred Povey and his third wife Jane (nee Ruff). His name was changed from Thomas Graham to Thomas Albert Povey. Fitzherbert died intestate living apart from his wife, probably in one room, above a car dealership on Holland Park Road, on the corner with Princedale Road, in Kensington, London. The dealership was called Archway Cars, Motor Car Agents. He died of TB, so was probably in very poor physical condition. He probably had very few assets at the time of his death.

Note on Wife: Mary Louisa GRAHAM - shared note

In 1904 her employer was Col Alleyne Fitzherbert Fenton Bloomfield and his wife Eleanor. They were living in Paris at 43, Avenue de l'Alma (later called Avenue George V). His son Fitzherbert Wheatley Bloomfield b31/10/1870 chr.27/11/1870 Madras, India was the father of her son Thomas Graham (later called Thomas Albert Povey) but would not marry Mary Louisa. In early 1905 Col Bloomfield left his wife after an acrimonious fight, took Mary Louisa to live and work for him in London. It is likely that Col Bloomfield wanted his son to marry Mary Louisa, but his wife would not let it happen. Thomas was adopted by Charles Alfred Povey and his wife when Thomas was two years old. Mary Louisa then left Col Bloomfield's employment.
