I can't see a marriage but she certainly changed her surname around the time she was petitioned for divorce. 

I have put a correction through to F M P for the missing surname on the transcript

Well done, Rosie  :)

Because we don't know were Nicholas Harrison came from it is a bit difficult even given his father name was Frederick, perhaps he was stationed in Sheffield but came from out of the county

Kenneth Parrott and his wife Daphne (nee Cook) were at 166 Hurst Grove Bedford in Feb 1950, according to a newspaper birth announcement.  But, as has been suggested, the house may have been split into flats so they may not have been the only occupants.

According to the newspaper report re. the divorce petition, Nicholas Harrison was in Sheffield and Vera was in Bedford.  I wonder why the solicitor and the court handling the divorce were in Nottingham  ???
