I'm far from convinced that the woman who died in Surrey is the one who married in Bristol

We need some feedback from Sally with more info..........especially about any documents she may have relating to these people

Was Francis her maiden name or could she have been married before?

Milly was born 22/12/1912........so her birth was registered in the 1st quarter of 1913.

I can't spot her in 1911.

I think you will need to purchase a copy of the marriage record to find out who their fathers were.

Where did you get the details of the couple who married in 1954?
