A guess at Ernest's death:

Birth Date: 2 May 1914
Date of Registration: Jun 1994

Another guess -

at Phyllis's marriage ???


Marriages Sep 1938 (>99%)
Blackman Phyllis M Davey Maidstone 2a 3848
Davey Stanley H Blackman Maidstone 2a 3848


EDIT:
No, I think that's this Phyllis:

Births Dec 1915 (>99%)
BLACKMAN Phyllis M Jarrett Maidstone 2a 1546



???
Phyllis Mary Davey
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Phyllis Mary Davey
Birth Date: 18 Feb 1919
Date of Registration: Dec 2003
Age at Death: 84
Registration district: Ipswich
Inferred County: Suffolk
Register Number: C30B
District and Subdistrict: 747/1C
Entry Number: 9


There were two Davey/Blackman births in Maidstone, 1940 & 1946


EDIT:

another possible marriage:

Marriages Jun 1946 (>99%)
Blackman Phyllis M WISE Maidstone 2a 2963
Wise Roland J Blackman Maidstone 2a 2963


Birth year is right, per 1939 register:

Balston Household Maidstone M.B., Kent, England
First name(s) Last name(s) Birth year
Phyllis (M) Wise (Blackman) 1919


Per FreeBMD, there was only one Phyllis M Blackman born 1918-20 in all England/Wales. (There was a Phyllis born in Elham in 1918, who married as Phyllis M in Elham in 1939)

that's a very big gap in births

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 7 Feb 2017 11:20

Yes, Sylvia, but not impossible.

Mary Jane would only have been 41-42 when Phyllis was born in 1919.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 7 Feb 2017 11:33

Re the apparently late births of Ernest and Phyllis -

There's only one other Blackman / Dean marriage in Kent after Harold J & Mary Jane's.

That's in Lewisham in 1919:

Marriages Mar 1919 (>99%)
Blackman Harold Dean Lewisham 1d 1673
Dean Lily E Blackman Lewisham 1d 1673

It's presumably not a second marriage for your Harold, as Mary Jane's still listed as married in 1939.
