Yes, it says so on her marriage certificate to Walter.
Gladys Bayliss (name changed by deed poll).
Her fathers name was Cottrell, which is how i know that was her maiden name

She worked in military so maybe. I know when she married my grandfather she was living in Surrey.
I know she married as a spinster. It could be she went abroad again, but info is scarce. I applied for her military history to see if that helps.

Yes although there is some confusion to what her name was before. She was Cottrell by birth, and i foind a ship manifest from 1950 which confirms she was still Cottrell by then.
The 1950-1964 time she had her name changed by Depoll to Bayliss.

Yeah i didnt think it was too old but more unlikely as the years go on.
I found 1 name Surrey born 1960. I know Gladys lived in that area around them but unsure if she went by Bayliss or Cottrell at this point

I know of 3 areas she lived in.
Surrey, Hampshire and Watford.
She married my grandfather in 1964 but by then she was 45. Would it be impossible for her to have kids past this age?
I have had trouble with the Bayliss/Cottrell connection for some time. But the 1921 census helps me find any of her siblings

That is correct
The one who died in 1986 is the right one born 1919.
She lived in Surrey and Hampshire with Walter. She was 45 when she married but i am curious to if she had children before or after.
Her name change makes any kind of research rather difficult. Plus she was working in the forces most of her life.

Hello everyone
I have been doing my family tree and i wonder how you would find out if a couple had children.
My Grandfather Walter George Griffin was married to my Grandmother Betty Bush and they had my dad.
Walter then remarried to a lady called Gladys Cottrell/Bayliss. The problem is that she had her name changed by depoll from Cottrell to Bayliss and then to Griffin. She died as Gladys Griffin in 1986. I never knew them personally so its been challenging to discover their life.
