Hi I'm trying to help someone else - I know there is a Samuel James Dennis Stokes - exeter Devon
Born 1924 (mmn crook)
Puzzle is he married

But on searching we have found two!
Wondering whether first wife passed away
But can find nothing more about her/ them after wedding

Haidee j marsden Sep 1947 Devon C
Can find no death for her anywhere at any point, or a remarriage?

But it looks like a 2nd marriage for Samuel
To Joan/Margaret (Potter)

Think he did marry twice

Marriages Sep 1947
Stokes Samuel J D Marsden Devon Central 7a 862
Marsden Haidee J Stokes Devon Central 7a 862


Marriages Mar 1960
POTTER Margaret J STOKES Exeter
STOKES Samuel J D POTTER Exeter 7a 829

So possibly a divorce if no death found for the wife

There was Haidee J Marsden born Wandsworth 1929 to mum Haidee Muriel Samson,she married Mr Marsden 1935 but no name on register.

Haidee J with mum 1950 -1937 in her maiden name back in Middlesex,Ancestry .co .uk acting up so can't look further.

Yes I did think that might be -
But still found no death for her in either a maiden name or married name
Or a 2nd marriage for her.
She just disappears!
At least you found the same - I'm
Not going mad :-(

Ahhh thanks - yes I found Wandsworth too
Think she's going to have to order lots of Cerys to clear this one up then!
Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything!

Yes I saw the Falmouth - but discounted the 'm' but guess in this one it could be an error somewhere !
