I cannot find any more on him

Besant Phyllis A Breton Bristol 6a 340
Breton William K D Besant Bristol 6a 340

and

Marriages Jun 1917 (>99%)

Breton William K D Besant Axbridge 5c 769


BUT Besant is missing from the listings on freebmd, and I have looked at the GRO index, and only Besant marrying in Bristol is shown

Axbridge is in Somerset


Did they get married in 2 different places?? Very probably just a mistake ...... although buying the certificate for William is the only way to be sure
