Emily was born 11 September 1916, Anton was born 29th May 1913. Therefore Anton was older than her, and by the time they were married Anton was 40 and Emily was 37.

Not the reply your looking for

Anton BERAN was Naturalised living at Hope Street Crewe

By Obtaining the 1953 marriage certificate, you will find
a) the address each party was living at, if Emily has a different address , searching the electoral roll should give an indication of a surname

b) if Emily had another surname it should be recorded together with her status ( my mother's is)

You do not state where in Cheshire Anton was!

My mother was a Crewe Girl, went into the Land Army based at Aldersley & Burtonwood, met a GI married him, divorced him & married a Gresty lad..... mother was born 1920 so not far off Emily's age....

Emily could have adopted the surname BERAN when the family lived together for respectability purposes........

Could Anton have told a little white lie and been German  and not Yugoslavian /Austrian ?

I have found a Beran familytree from Bukovice,Germany 1829- 1920

Anton Beran is the 1832 born earliest in the tree

do any of Antons children to his first wife match any in that tree ?

Great find Elzabels.  This now establishes Anton's original nationality.  There were two main prisoner of war camps in the Crewe area for German soldiers. Crewe Hall housed German Officers and Snape Farm Weston housed other ranks. It is possible that this is how Emily met Anton. There were also other POW camps at Dorfold Hall, Nantwich and in the grounds of the Boars Head, Walgherton. Not to be ruled out in surrounding areas is the Racecourse Camp at Tarporley and Marbury Hall at Marbury, Northwich.  Also in Cheshire there were POW camps at Dunham Park, Altrincham and Madeley Tile Works on the Cheshire, Staffordshire Border. On the Wirral there was a camp at Parkgate and one at Ledsham Hall, Sutton.
I am not sure if there are any records for POW's which would show a possible match with a camp for Anton. Someone on Rootschat might be able to help.

As the OP knows the dob of Emily i.e q3 1916 he could ask GRO if there is any way of tracing her with this info.

Ot to get a list of all Emily b q3 1916 Crewe or CHeshire and tick them off until one fits!!!

Still think the purchase of the marriage cert is the next move! www.gro.gov.uk


I do not think she was necessarily born/ registered  in Crewe and the options of the camps open up a girl born in say Birkenhead!
