It's always best to buy the cert when funds are available - even with the best intentions, people can make mistakes ;-)

"Who brought 7 children up on her own."

One of the trees on Ancestry has an additional female partner for Harold Wainwright

Mary Elizabeth Richardson
Birth 13th July 1916 in Tillingham, Essex, England
Death 13th Dec 1995 in Maldon, Essex, England

With 2 children.

Perhaps he was a naughty boy? Divorce was expensive and difficult to come by.
