Found this:

England, Andrews Newspaper Index Cards, 1790-1976
Name: Helen Chown
Spouse's Name: Philip Puxley
Publication Date: 8 Apr 1956

It says "Became wife of Philip Puxley. advt for her"

Don't know what it means, perhaps he was trying to find her and was placing an advert?

Or, perhaps he'd died and her whereabouts were being sought to inform her. Perhaps that's when she knew she was legally free to remarry?

EDIT:
Looks like my second guess was correct -

"PUXLEY - Philip Puxley (Deceased). Anyone having knowledge of the whereabouts of Helen Puxley (nee Chown), wife of the late Philip Puxley of 1 Brookdale, New Southgate, London, N11 please communicate with Messrs Hamilton-Hill and Partner, solicitors, 263 Green Lanes, Palmers Green, London, N13"

Please someone find out what happened to Philip Puxley D O B not known who married Helen Chown b 1884 in 1915 St Thomas Devon.
I know Helen went to live in Swansea but not when or if Philip was with her.
She lived with Frederick Webb for some time before they married in 1956 Exeter.
I would like to know what happened after she married Philip ,where they went and how she ended up in Swansea.
Did Philip die or did they divorce.

Thank you
Sheila
