Can you not help further?
Do you know when she was born?
Did they have issue?
Can you find any evidence of him/her/ kids in 1939?

In that case, they would appear to be at 11 Richardsons Drive, Belper R.D. in 1939.

Hello

Thank you Annette and Mabel for locating Robert

Looks like the surname has different spellings
Some age discrepancy between 1911 census and marriage date of 1920?

His father Ralph (on wedding certificate) although deceased must be on a census somewhere - would be good to find them

Regards
Peter
