Hi Susan,
There is a marriage for a Lilian E. M. Giles in Romford Essex in 1934 4th qtr 4A p.1286 - she married Frederick Abbott. Regarding Edward Henry, there is a marriage in 1940 in Aldershot to a Catherine Brown but there are one or two Edward Hs in BMD. Hope this helps.
Wendy

Susan - it is customary to acknowledge that research has been done on your behalf by posting on the thread even if you believe it to be incorrect, or you already have that information.

See your response on the Leonard Giles thread.

Just as a reminder, anyone who tries to help is an ordinary paying member of GR such as yourself, not an employee

Thank you
