Accountant and Second World War history expert James Dinsdale has been at the centre of a legal dispute after his death in October 2020. Sources say Dinsdale, aged 55, died of cancer, and his estate—described as worth about £1.8 million—has become the subject of a bitter court fight between two women who both married him in Las Vegas. One report says Dinsdale married Margaret Dinsdale in Las Vegas in 2015. Another source says he previously married dentist Dr Victoria Fowell at a different Las Vegas chapel in 2010. The accounts agree that the two women are considered “widows” in the dispute, and that both marriages are presented as legally valid by the parties. They also describe the couple remaining legally married after the later ceremony, raising questions about how the estate should be divided. One outlet reports the dispute could be over an estate value that has since changed, while all sources frame the matter as ongoing litigation stemming from Dinsdale’s death and the competing claims to his assets.
