I am interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything about Melvin & Pauline Gautier and their descendants.
Melvin Thomas Gautier born 31Aug1924, NC, USA; died 27/8Jul1990 California/Texas/elsewhere, USA

Pauline Glenda Welch, born 29Jan1927 Shrewton, Wiltshire, England. Possibly died Sep1988 Dudley, England.

Pauline & Melvin were married in 1945 in Maddington, Wiltshire, England.

Melvin was in the US Army. An entry in Stars & Stripes relates how after returning to the US, Melvin gave up waiting for Pauline to come over, re-enlisted, and was posted in Europe just as Pauline arrived in the US with their first child Juanita.

Passenger lists list Pauline travelling with up to 3 children, Juanita, Rosemarie and Chris[topher]. The passenger lists seem to be the only mention of Rosemarie - unable to trace a birth in US or UK so far. Where was she born and what happened to her?

Did Melvin & Pauline return to UK and have four more children in the Birmingham/Solihull area?
It seems like they must have divorced; Melvin appears to have married Alice, found Melvin & Alice's headstone posted to this group earlier.

Pauline possibly then married Harry Beale in Shrewton, Wiltshire, England about 1975 which would be about a year after her father Cyril Henry Welch died.

Anything anyone can add would be appreciated.
