Alfred put his name in the address box which is why that is showing but should read 120 High St

I notice that there are actually several trees Barry (invariably copied) but sadly none of them have any substantiation for their info re: the death in 1953 or other details.

It's quite possible she had another partner later, but if that 1929 marriage isn't her then it's a huge coincidence given the father's name and the witness Henry (brother from the 1911?) Also, I can't find another Ellen Poulter that fits the details given (although there was one born Holbeck in 1912).
