Unless she fibbed ;-)

Yes, can't be the right family in 1939.

I don't see the son's death, up to 2020, in England/Wales.
Nor in Scotland, up to a few weeks ago.

When did the son die? Did his mother attend his funeral?

What was Margaret’s home address when she married?

The man on the 1939 above is a chimney sweep - not a member of the clergy

You say the Simmons marriage broke down, but unless there was actually a divorce she couldn’t have got remarried.

If that is the case she may just have ‘taken’ another partners name and have been known by that.

She could be still alive and heading for a century.

If you have the right parents, Margaret’s birth was registered OND1928

Her father's name was Rev William Palmer on her marriage certificate, I believe he married an Edith Sillett in 1920

If you know her exact DoB look for deaths for the forename only on freebmd

Who were her parents?

Her death doesn’t appear to have been picked up, as there is no obvious record for the woman in 1939

Her son was born in 1946

In 1928 I believe as she was 17 when she married & believe she was from Medway area. Yes they had a son Malcolm Simmons who unfortunately has passed away so can't ask him for any information. :-)

In what year was Margaret born?

She and Tony may have had at least one child, a son in 1959 in Chatham.

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help I'm looking to see if Margaret had a second marriage but Im.struggling to find one.
Information I have is her first marriage was to a Tony Simmons on 1st December 1945 but believe that marriage broke down about 1963/64.
All I know is she supposedly owned a shop in Maidstone with a man called Len but I can't seem to find a marriage.
I believe she died in 1984/5 but can't find a death in the first married name of Simmons which makes me think she had re-married, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
