Searching for Blanche

Searching for Blanche Eileen Jarvis (nee Mitchell or Fraser)
I have been searching for any information about Blanche she married Arthur Jarvis in 1913 at Chatham Kent, Arthur was in the Royal Navy and at that time stationed on the Pembroke.

Blanche claimed that her maiden name was Mitchell and her father John Mitchell a Sgt Major in the Cameron Highlanders.
However, it is obvious that Blanche gave a false name for herself and father, possible she may have been illegitimate?
Arthur divorced Blanche in 1920 because she was having an affair with Ernest Hawkyard, this resuLted in a son being born on 18 Jan 1918 at Brightlingsea. She stated on his birth certificate that his father was George Stringer an Australian soldier, and also that her maiden name was Fraser. The boy was named GORDON GRAHAM STUART STRINGER
and his birth registered in Ilford Essex.
I have been unable to trace him since then, could Blanche have taken him to Australia?


It is known that some of the family migrated to Canada, are there any descendants there who may have known the truth about Blanche?
Her husband Arthur died in 1921 due to a gas accident at his home in Southend on Sea Essex, his second wife then was Hannah Bunn, I do`nt know what became of her, did she marry again?

There is quite a lot I would like to know about Blanche
at present she is very much a lady of mystery.
I have a photo of her and Arthur, probably taken on their wdding day, she looked to be a beautiful young lady, possibly she may have been younger than the 21 years she claimed to be on the marriage cert.

My late husband had been put into a childrens home after the death of his father, and never knew anything about his parents. I would love to find out any information about his mother, can anyone please please help?
My son would like to know about her family and where she came from, someone somewhere must know about her.
