Can someone find more details on this marriage please?
I've lost a Phyllis E Cornell & am hoping this one names her father as William James Cornell.
She's too distant to fork out for a certificate.

Thank Malyon, I was aware of the records posted, with the exception of the potential 2nd marriage.

Might it be best to remove the 1950 birth? Hopefully the person is still living.

On 2nd thoughts, the 2nd marriage can't be the same Phyliss E nee Cornell. She was named as widow & administrator on Keith's probate entry in 1959.

It certainly seems that way Greyghost :-D
Maddie's suggestion tends to rule out the Phyllis as the one b Saffron Walden.

It a pity the 1940 marriage image isn't available as details would have ruled it out completely.

Thanks for all the suggestions - back to the drawing board :-0

I assume you don’t know what the ‘E’ represents in Phyllis’s name?

There is one closed record on 1939 register for the parents

Harry is with his wife - can’t see George, but he could have enlisted, in which case the closed record is Phyllis

The one who went to India in 1940 was certainly from this family:

This address was shown on the ship's manifest for the jouney so I think we can rule out that Phyllis from being 'your's'.

Yes, you're right. I don't know what the E stands for, and I'm assuming she's the closed record on

George Leonard Cornell (next youngest child) was already in the Services

If anyone has access to worldwide for the details of this one arriving in New York it might be useful?

Last Name : Cornell

The address she was going to was 49 Orient St., Meriden, Conn ?

looks like phyllis and keith had one daughter in 1950

There is also this one. Doesn't help much as the only information is that she's going to 49 Orient Street, Meriden, Conn.
