Bedfordshire / Re: Missing person Vera Harrison

The marriage certificate between Vera Owen and Nicholas Harrison has arrived - at last. It's been over 6 weeks but then these are trying times we live in. Anyway, It doesn't help a lot. It shows Nicholas as living at 187, Cartmell Road, Sheffield. This is quite close to where my dad and his family, including Vera, lived in 1939. When I look it up o the 19939 he is only lodging there. It shows his occupation as Railway Fireman. His father was Frederick Harrison and he was a bricklayer. Vera is shown as a spinster. Btw I was wrong originally her dob was 27th August 1918. On the 1939 Register she is shown as Vera Foster/Harrison/Owen. Owen being her maiden name and Harrison her married name. I have tried to look for a marriage between a Vera Owen or a Vera Harrison to someone named Foster from 1947 onwards but without any luck.
I had hoped to find Nicholas' family home so that I could trace his family with some degree of certainty but think I'll just have to wing it and hope that I stay on track. At £11 per certificate and a 6 week wait to get it I would prefer not to have to buy too many for now.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
