She appears to have a sister Maud.
Have you had any success in tracing her, or are either of them in trees on here?

Marie Corris has Kennedy for her Mother's maiden name.

Added:
And Kennedy/Kennedy.

Free bmd has the marriage of Joan R Corris to Marion, and that is what is showing on the image.

Is this the death of John, and how many times did he marry?

John Robert Corris
Birth Date: 18 Oct 1911
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1973
Age at Death: 62
Registration district: Manchester
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 10e
Page: 970

Thank-you

I would get the marriage cert if it were me, in order to find out a bit more about her. I can't see a marriage or death for a Marion Corris.

Pm received stating that bonniescoular has sent for the certificate.
She had wondered about the name Joan, and/or whether they had definitely married.
Similarly, I could see no marriage or death for Marion Corris in this country. She could still be alive, lots are with birth 1920.
So we will wait and see.
