There is a marriage for a Carol A Shortland/Simpson in Colchester in 1994. Is this a co-incidence, or related?

Added:
This Colchester marriage looks like the Carol A Shortland born in Birmingham, as there is a marriage for her in Birmingham to a Simpson.

Alice remarried and had a son. He looks to be living in Harrow. Do you think he would know where Carol is?
