Ruth Wilkins

Wilkins was born at Pongaroa, Wairarapa, on December 15, 1916. He later became a naturalised British citizen. He married Ruth Abbot during his American sojourn, at Oaklands, California, on July 14, 1944. They had a child together but were divorced on June 7, 1947. The US Embassy in London informed MI5 in 1953 that, according to "confidential sources" (possibly the Venona decryptions), Ruth Abbot was connected with American Youth for Democracy, an organisation which had been declared subversive by the US Attorney General.
