Marjorie probably died in Hampshire in 1992. It appears that she entered the USA at some time but I don't have a world sub.

Edit: sometimes they appear as Cooks and sometimes as Cocks.

I couldn't find her by searching her name, but then searching for Marjorie M. with her birthdate shows her listed as follows.

Name: Marjorie M C??
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Married
Birth Date: 2 Aug 1910
Residence Date: 1939
Residence Place: Islington, London, England
Occupation: Millinery Designer

As Shirley says, the page is badly defaced by Alexander's birthdate, but you can just make out his month of birth.
