I recently checked freebmd marriages for Doris E Brett and noticed alot of marriages between 1928 and 1956 .. but obviously only one of my grandmother's entry in 1931 ... I didn't realise that that the name Doris E Brett was so common

Sorry, I just noticed this.
Do you mean you have a DNA match to this Brett/Pryke line?

1954
Tony Sidwell/Brett married
That Tony Brett died 1987
The spouse may still be living as I can’t see a death so we should not name her.
You could send for the 1964 marriage certificate to check the details. There is a birth for the female in 1943.
I can’t see any births for that marriage or deaths.
You could also send for the will of Tony Brett who died 1987 to check.
Tony Sidwell married Gosgrove Dympna Sidwell Nelson in 1954
ancestry.com has indicated a match between Tony Brett and Jane Pryke

« on: Friday 22 October 21 04:49 BST (UK) »Ian, how have you learned of the missing son, and is your informant/source clear on the dates and details?
The Tony whose dates you have given seems to have been born Tony Sidwell, to parents Stanley Sidwell and Lillian née Jennings, and become a “Brett” on Lillian’s subsequent marriage to Wilfred Brett in 1933. His birth and death occurred in Lancashire. As Annette says, there’s no obvious link to your London Bretts, unless you can shed any further light.
you are right there is a Tony sidwell did marry in Sept 1964 but so did PRYKE JANE W and Tony Brett in SUDBURY ...

Hi Rosie
it is possible that she was over in England for pleasure afterall mum and I know grandma was heavily involved in the chapter in September 87 but she also wanted to visit family members as well

Was her father deceased? Perhaps Walter took the role of his father.
it' is possible that Adas father was deceased and Walter took his place or it could be that George disapproved of the marriage after all Frank Lewis Brett was 46 and she was just 22 years old at the time in 1905
