From what I know of their lives/finances it is extremely unlikely they married abroad. However in 1946 they obtained a joint husband/wife passport which I have. The Passport Office tell me that even then they would need to produce a marriage cert to do this. (I wondered if there was any relaxation during/after the war). So how did the obtain the passport? Maybe he fiddled it. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Martin (Suffolk)
