Researching Aldergrove's settler families is definitely not dull. Rosa Edna Nascou was the daughter of early Aldergrove merchant Edward Nascou, and she certainly married an interesting character. Her husband was married to a bigamist - it's not common to see a female bigamist, but then maybe it wasn't intentional and she really did think her first husband was dead.
One does have to wonder if the 1918 petition for divorce filed by Everett wasn't going well, and his legal team went looking for dirt, which they found. Once he had his annulment, Everett certainly didn't waste any time marrying Miss Nascou.
However, it would appear that his second marriage didn't fare any better, as we see in the 1931 census that they are living in separate houses and Mrs. Ewing states that she is a widow - something her husband did on their marriage registration...and then there's the children....
