Katie has put that Hilda's father is Thomas Holden.

There are several Holden/Dunn marriages in the Lancashire area, but Norman is the only Fylde birth.

It made me wonder why they didnt get devorced until the 60s norman had my father in 45 but didnt marry my grandmother until the 60's
They were always poor so thought maybe keeping another child :-) thanks for your help

Maybe they just couldn't afford to get divorced .it may be they qualified later for legal aid or they were then able to do a simple divorce on the grounds they had been separated for so long.

The grounds for divorce changed over the years and became easier to make the plea for divorce to be filed for
