Although some of the facts around Alexander Wilson are a bit murky thanks to MI6's classified files and Alec's own habit of telling lies and keeping secrets, we do know that Ruth Wilson's grandfather was born in 1893 and died in 1963. He was a novelist, a spy and an MI6 agent, and – most dramatically – he was a serial bigamist with four wives. So w...
Over the course of his life, Alexander Joseph Patrick Wilson married four women and fathered seven children between them. He never divorced any of his wives, instead keeping the women ignorant of each other's existence as he juggled his many separate lives and parallel families. Alec married his first (and only legal) wife Gladys in 1916, and she s...

One part was to be read in her lifetime, and one to be read after her death – which came in 2005. She writes of the realisation that her husband was "one vast lie. He had not only died, he had evaporated into nothi...
Had she lived just a little longer, Alison would have been incredibly shocked to find out about Alec's further two wives, Dorothy and Elizabeth, as the full story started to emerge. "Thank god she didn't know about those two," Ruth said. In 2005, Alec's fourth son Michael, who had changed his name to Mike Shannon, wanted to know more about the fath...
"It was a scary process, being so vulnerable and exposing the family in that way," Ruth Wilson admitted. "It's something that we have talked about a lot and tried to be very sensitive towards." In recent years, the many descendants of Alexander Wilson have been getting to know each other as family. Second son Dennis hosted a party for 28 members of...
