I have spoken to the person who originally posted the picture of Frank and Joan on Find a Grave. Frank is a distant relative of his

He doesn't really know much, his comments
The closest I can find so far to fit the pieces together is a Jane Gray
who married a Albert Edward C Hutchings in Jan 1974. This Albert Edward
C Hutchings died in Beverley in Nov 1999 and was born 1913 in
Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.
The 1939 ceased to be manually update in 1952, however, the NHS records
kept updating the register to 1991 so it's possible that the green
addendum is correct ... ??


My comments / thoughts

As I understand things the date against an entry in the 1939 register
is the date the event was recorded in the register, not the date of
the event

What if Jane and Albert lived together as man and wife, Jane changed
her name at the doctors (these were all paper records), the 1939
register was updated
If Jane re-married she would lose her war widows pension

Did something happen to prompt a marriage in 1974, Edward receiving a
pension or something similar

The only way to rule the 1974 marriage in or out is to buy a copy of the cert & see if details fit Joan’s profile.  If her fathers surname is Gibson - bingo!
