Dorothy Lilian Married a Walter Briggs in 1915 & had one son, Charles Edward B. Briggs, born Ripon, Yorkshire in 1917.
She died in 1986. Charles died Hitchin, Herts, 1977

Dorothy L BRIGGS remarried Mar qtr. 1952 Hitchin spouse SMITH

Dorothy Lilian SMITH born 25 6 1895  died 1986 Hitchin, Herts

Not finding a marriage entry for son Charles b1917 - d1977

Charles died 1946 in Sthampton. He may have married an Edith Chamberlain in 1914.
If it is his marriage, he had six children between 1916 & 1926.  1 male & 5 females

I think he married Ethel

Charles Lacey, 25 Romsey Road, Shirley, Southampton died 15 Mar 1946
Probate date   15 May 1946 Winchester, widow Ethel Dinah Lacey

Possible marriage entry

Mar 1926 Shaftesbury   5a   333

Evelyn Victoria married a Gerald Knowles, 1923 & had one son,

Raymond G Knowles, born 1926, Wandsworth.

Raymond died 1990, Nottingham.

How certain are you that their son died in Nottingham 1990 (born 10 3 1926)
and his middle name is George?

There reason I ask is Evelyn & Gerald's son
R G KNOWLES registered Sept. Qtr. 1926 Wandsworth

and there is a birth a
R.G. KNOWLES registered Jun Qtr. 1926 Nottingham
and an
R.G. KNOWLES marriage 1957 Nottingham

Could his middle name be Gerald after his father 

There is this death entry

Raymond Gerald Knowles age 90
Birth date   00/00/1926, died 15 Oct 2016 , Probate date 05 Jul 2017
Residence   Launceston

Edit to add - sending you a PM re: above info. a possible 1952 marriage for RGK

Evelyn  Violet KNOWLES died 1985 Stoke on Trent  Born   21 1 1909 Edited - she Is the wrong Evelyn

Possibly death of husband Gerald (marriage entry only gives an initial 'W')

Gerald William Knowles born 16 Jan 1902 died 1981 Aylesbury - edit to add this is most likely the correct death for Evelyn’s husband

If the marriage in Uxbridge was the correct Edward Charles, he had two sons between 1923 & 1927
