Do you have that marriage certificate please. Are you certain that it was your Lilian who married Douglas Grundy?

Is this ER record just a coincidence or is it your Lilian?

It's a little unusual that the 1939 register hasn't been updated to show a marriage in 1943.

The only Yorkshire birth of a Lilian Bradbury 1914 +/- 5 years which would fit a December birthdate if that is her on the 1939 register posted.

Lilian was born in 1915 in Yorkshire.

Lilian was my grandmother and had my dad when she was married to Thomas Weston Hession in Blackpool in the mid to late thirties. She had also been married for the first time to a man from Yorkshire call Arnold R Woolhouse.

Many thanks, Sandra.
