Thankyou very much Maddie and greyghost

The problem I have is, I found a marriage for Edward


Marriages Jun 1935 (>99%)
Bessant Edward G Matthews Southampton 2c 141
Matthews Marjorie A Bessant Southampton 2c 141

If that is the correct marriage, Perhaps Marjorie had been married before?

The other problem I have is that I can't seem to find a death for a Marjorie A Bessant

Just found this


Marriages Dec 1947 (>99%)
Bessant Marjorie A Jones Winchester 6b 1605
Jones Cyril E L Bessant Winchester 6b 1605
Jones Cyril E L Matthews Winchester 6b 1605
Matthews Marjorie A Jones Winchester 6b 1605

Do you think Edward and Marjorie divorced?

This is probably her birth then


Births Sep 1913 (>99%)
Matthews Marjorie A Sellers Southampton 2c 65

Possibly her death
