In case you didn't notice it, the 1946 marriage of an Albert to Jessie Bacon, posted by Maddie, looks very likely.

Probate - Albert William Tolley of 3 Mayfield Road North End Portsmouth died 23 May 1983. Probate Winchester 29 June

From this site https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

Free to use, you can order a copy of the will through the site which may give further information

possibly 2 daughter born 1946 amd 1958 portsmouth

The free site already mentioned would have shown you the possible marriage - would look likely as that is where he first married and had a daughter 1934

https://www.freebmd.org.uk

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1946 (>99%)
Bacon Jessie A Tolley Portsmouth 6b 1297 <<<<<<<<<<<<

Tolley Albert W Bacon Portsmouth 6b 1297 <<<<<<<<<<<<
Wimsh_rst James A Downs Portsmouth 6b 1297
Wimsh_rst James A Evans Portsmouth 6b 1297

and it would have saved us looking for records you already had, if you had said initially that you were looking for records post his divorce.
