Thanks for your contributions - This is the info I have
Thomas William Cleary came over from "Ireland" married Gladys Ann Wynn in Walsall in 1918
On the 1901 Census Gladys was "boarding" at Norton Canes (South Staffs) born in 1900 and the head of that household was
Thomas and Gladys had three children between 1918 and 1931 but Thomas then disappeared, maybe died. Gladys married Alfred Perry in 1936 and in the 1939 register they are listed as
Alfred Perry
Gladys Perry
Dorothy Cleary - pencilled through Boden whom she later married
Percy Cleary
Winifred Cleary - pencilled through Boden who she later married
By an extreme quirk both Dorothy and Winifred married unrelated Bodens although one is sometimes listed as Leonard Baden not Boden
So Gladys's timeline was b 1900, m 1918, widowed after 1931 (Winifred born) then m again to Alfred Perry in 1936
I have just discovered Thomas was "hiding in plain sight" born in 1895 and living in Walsall with his dad Kogger and mum Kale with the surname Clarey. Obviously spelling is an issue but thanks all for your assistance on this.
Case closed !!!!
